Selected Praise

“With corrupt officers, conflicting loyalties and a police force that is so understaffed it barely functions, Bartlett paints a chilling portrait of a world where the old questions still remain potent - ‘Who guards the guardians?’ Peter James had better watch out, he has a new competitor.”
— Daily Mail
“Bad For Good has everything you want in a crime novel; compelling protagonists, chilling villains, and an engaging, well-constructed plot. And by telling the story through the eyes of senior police officers rather than the rank and file, Bartlett is doing things just that little bit differently. One of the most confidents debuts I’ve ever read.”
— M. W. Craven, author of the Washington Poe series
“The real deal. Authentic and gripping, with a wealth of insider knowledge.”
— Rosamund Lupton, author of Three Hours
