Review:
"A powerful and original debut crime story, definitely one for Vargas fans to try, and I very much hope that there is more Varenne crime fiction to come. I will be waiting, with bated breath, my hands over my eyes and peeking through my fingers, as I watch his next story unfold."―Lynn Harvey, Euro Crime
"This book excels in its characterization and depiction of human relationships and it is worth reading for these elements alone."―Crimepieces
"Superb... The novel has a strikingly original plot and characters, and its pessimism is balanced by Varenne's inexhaustible human sympathy."―Joan Smith, The Sunday Times
"Imaginative and disturbing"Marcel Berlins, The Times―
"Bed of Nails engages with the violence at the heart of society, and the darkest elements of human nature."―Fantastic Fiction
"An excursion into Fred Vargas territory... an intriguing read, with a bold and surprisingly moving ending."―Laura Wilson, The Guardian
