Review
’Freeman is an excellent writer and as brilliant as Harlan Coben at psychological suspense’---Daily Mail
’Raised from the merely formulaic by Freeman’s emotional literacy, sense of place and an uncanny ability to wrong-foot the reader and produce a wholly unexpected ending, The Burying Place is far more than the sum of its parts’---Guardian
’A writer who is firmly in control of his craft... Freeman’s particular skill is in the establishment of an atmosphere of menace, conjured to perfection here’---Barry Forshaw, The Good Book Guide
’Addictive and intelligent... The Burying Place, with its darkly nightmarish title, is right up there with [Freeman’s] best’---Hobart Mercury, Australia
