Praise for Blood in Grandpont  

Maggie Hartford, Oxford Times: "Peter's novel is a fantastic read. It's refreshing to read an Oxford book which tells a gripping story from the Town point of view."

"Enough cliff-hangers to keep the reader turning the pages as the bodies pile up … He has a wonderful gift of creating geographically factual settings for his fictional characters"

"A perfect gift for someone who enjoys traditional detective stories and knows and loves the non-university side of Oxford."
 

Oxford Today "Deliciously thrilling and wildly unpredictable murder mystery firmly rooted on the streets of Oxford."
