M. R. Hall is a screenwriter, producer and former criminal barrister. Educated at Hereford Cathedral School and Worcester College, Oxford, he lives in Monmouthshire with his wife and two sons. Aside from writing, his main passion is the preservation and planting of woodland. In his spare moments, he is mostly to be found amongst trees.
Fasten your seatbelts for a quality thriller . . . Hall's Gold
Dagger-nominated books, quite simply, get better each time. Part of
it is the former barrister and TV producer's ability to structure
and deliver a thriller that has you keep turning the pages. But
Hall is also a hit upon a genuinely fascinating aspect of the
justice system . . . The most compelling element of Hall's books,
however, is Cooper herself . . . It is wonderful stuff, chillingly
plausible
*Independent on Sunday*
As premises go, this one's a killer . . . It's a terrific series,
meticulously researched, sharply plotted and peopled with
sympathetic characters, led by Cooper, who is always aware of the
human consequences of failure
*Financial Times*
Ed McBain semi-inaugurated the forensics genre, but Patricia
Cornwell and Kathy Reichs parleyed his innovations into
stratospheric sales. But the field has not become an exclusively
female sorority - or an American domain. A highly talented male
writer has offered a challenge . . .
*Independent*
An edge-of-the-seat thriller . . . this fourth novel in the
excellent Jenny Cooper series should come with a health warning
*Irish Independent*
A brilliant, original and gripping crime novel - I can't wait for
M. R. Hall's next one!
*Sophie Hannah*
Hall shows with aplomb that a coroner is just as able to become a
detective as the forensic pathologists of Patricia Cornwell and
Kathy Reichs
*Sunday Times*
Breathlessly enjoyable
*The Times*
