Kathryn Fox has created a forensic physician who readers of Patricia Cornwell will adore * James Patterson *
Fox is stomach-churningly good * Mail on Sunday *
Patricia Cornwell's forensic fantasies may have cooled, but Fox's morgue-talk promises to plug the gap. * Independent *
An irresistible page turner * Scotsman *
Crichton investigates with enthusiasm mixed with fear. The climax is shocking and chilling. If Fox can do this on her debut novel, the future looks bright * Marcel Berlins, The Times *
Meticulously researched and seamlessly plotted, MALICIOUS INTENT marks out Kathryn Fox as a name to watch * Crime Time *
