UNCOVER THE VERY BEST IN CRIME AND THRILLER WRITING
The sixth book in the critically acclaimed DI Marjory Fleming series.
‘A welcome return for Templeton’s tough but tender DI, Marjory ‘Big Marge’ Fleming… The vivid characterisation, excellent description and a horribly looming sense of inevitability make Cradle to Grave a riveting read.’ Laura Wilson, Guardian
‘Templeton can always be relied on to provide a well-written, cleverly-plotted, old-fashioned whodunit.’ The Times
Accused of murdering the baby in her care, seemingly cold and measured nanny Lisa Stewart maintains her innocence. But when she changes her name and tries to run away, the terrifying threats always find her.
Is she an innocent victim of public anger? Or a calculating murderer on the run?

Reviews
'A Christie-style closed-circle detective novel.'
'Loved it'
An unalloyed pleasure - an intelligent, character-driven crime novel.
'Skilfully plotted and well-paced . . . This book is a delight, from its leisurely start to the moving and unexpected finish.'
'Interesting, atmospheric and - I predict - televisual'
[Aline Templeton] has demonstrated that, just when we thought Scotland was saturated with detectives, a strong woman can elbow her way in and find a unique niche.
'It is always a pleasure to read Aline Templeton, but THE DARKNESS AND THE DEEP must surely be her best book to date. Aline's characters are so beautifully drawn . . .'
A compelling read.
