The Gwen John Sculpture

Newgate Callendar in the New York Sunday Times crime reviews of June 8, 1986, wrote 'Of the many mystery writers who base their stories on art, John Malcolm is one of the best. (This book) follows previous form ...Malcolm weaves all the strands with a sure, graceful hand. He is an urbane writer who never seems to srtike a false note in his prose. His dialogue is natural-sounding, his writing never forced. The Gwen John Sculpture, with its tension and mounting suspense, serves as a fine reminder that a good writer can deliver an absorbing action story without resorting to heavy breathing anad strenuous heroics.'
