‘Man at the Window, the first book in a series, is classic detective storytelling, and a novel with a moral dilemma at its heart that twists and turns all the way to its gripping conclusion. While the subject matter is dark and difficult at times, the morality at its core is handled well and with sensitivity. It’s refreshing to read a WA-based detective novel… there are moments where the prose lifts from the page and stuns. Man at the Window may appeal to Jane Harper and Garry Disher fans, and to readers who get a kick out of Michael Connolly’s Harry Bosch series.’ – Books+Publishing
‘Author Robert Jeffreys has a brilliant ear for dialogue and the exchanges between the detective and all who come into his sphere, fizz and buzz with a thrilling verisimilitude, often very funny, as well as propelling the plot in page turning frenzy.’ – Sydney Arts Guide
‘The writer’s prose is clear, objective and strong. His presentation methods are downright sloppy. Chief among these is the untoward use of italic script. The expected development of the plot is not standard and, while the situations were regular enough, it was the writer’s habit of jumping all over the place that kept me on edge.’ – Queensland Reviewers Collective
