About the author

M R Hall, otherwise known as Matthew Hall, lives and works in the Welsh borders near Monmouth. Born in London in 1967, he was educated at Hereford Cathedral School and Worcester College, Oxford, where he graduated in law.

After several years as a criminal barrister in London, Matthew started writing TV drama, beginning with epsiodes of ITV's Kavanagh QC. He was nominated for a BAFTA for his first original series, Wing and a Prayer. He has since written over 60 hours of prime time drama including the recent BBC hit series, Keeping Faith.

His debut novel, The Coroner (2009) was shortlisted for the CWA's Gold Dagger, as was his fourth, The Flight. The Jenny Cooper coroner series has now been adapted for television. 'Coroner' is made in Toronto for CBC and distributed internationally by Cineflix.

Reviews

[Emily Basford · Rating 3 out of 5]

Whilst the premise of the book is good, I don’t know if you need to read the other books in the series first. I feel there’s a lot of history with the main characters I was missing so everything felt a bit hectic. For this reason I’ve only given it 3 starts but I feel if I knew the back story, I’d have probably given 4.
