What readers say
Faith Martin is best known for her long-running Oxfordshire police mysteries, especially the DI Hillary Greene books and the 1960s-set Ryder and Loveday series. Readers enjoy her well-drawn detective pairings, twisty but fair puzzles, period detail with old-fashioned detective work, and a gentle, easy-reading tone. Common criticisms are plodding or repetitive prose, far-fetched plots, frequent point-of-view shifts and thin side characters, and some find a few books work better if you've read the earlier ones. Recent reviews are a little more mixed than older ones.
Best for: Readers who want gentle, traditional British police mysteries and like settling into a long series.
