Cooper, Natasha
Gagged and Bound
Reviews
‘Strong characterisation and sense of place put Cooper among the best in current crime writing.’ Sue Baker, Publishing News
‘The plot of Gagged and Bound is well balanced; it is neither too simple nor too baroque, and it moves along at a decent pace, particularly in the last fifty pages.’ TLS
‘Maguire is a compelling figure in contempory crime, and Miss Cooper is a real challenge to Ruth Rendell and Minette Walters.’ Peterborough Evening News
'Suspenseful...the smart, caring and driven Trish delves for information and puts together all the pieces for a satisfying conclusion.' Publishers Weekly
‘Cooper is a devious plotter but her strength is in creating believable characters.' The Observer
“I was full of admiration for her deft plotting, her thoughtfulness and the care she takes to construct a novel that works both on a narrative and emotional level. For those who want diversion, it offers unshowy, intelligent respite, a good puzzle and the fictional reminder that things are never simple.” Elizabeth Buchan, The Guardian
“A fascinating study of power, corruption and coercion.” The Guardian
