The best thing about this book is that even with the crazy characters and fast-moving plot, there's a lot of humor - the people are funny, even as they are doing destructive and unpredictable things. It is well written and also has a good title - the portrait, though it plays a minor role, is important. We can see how one guilty action can lead to a string of others.

Enjoyable read! 4 August 2014 by Tarian Green "Tig"

The story of two desperate policemen who turn to kidnapping an elderly woman had me smitten. Flowed wonderfully and I actually felt pity for the bungling duo. Beautifully written and another sensational plot. The ending was worth waiting for. I love it.

Well written Portrait of Guilt. As in all Anthony's books this one is so well written. Two policemen from the Met are working in India when they were out drinking one night they both got caught urinating against a temples wall. Having been sent home they then get sacked from the Met, penny less this is where the book gets really exciting. Enjoy the escapades of these two ex policemen as they are needing to earn money. This is a great story that is very enjoyable and is so easy to read. 5* 17 June 2015.

5.0 out of 5 stars This story left me breathless, and shaking my head in wonder.

A Portrait of Guilt is a masterfully written portrayal of how easily our lives can come unravelled. The way the story forges ahead left me breathless by each chapter’s end. I often feel I can predict the outcome of certain narratives, but Hulse’s upmanship invariably pips me at the post. This is a fast paced and powerful story with a modest beginning that blossoms into a shattering tragedy that effects not only a few families, but an entire portion of society. Hulse has done his homework well, and I’m recommending this as a “must read” book.

***** Fantastic thriller. Kept me hooked to the end., November 13, 2014

This review is from: Scent of the Dragon (Kindle Edition)

I'm a big fan of Mr Hulse. This is a good story, one that kept me going for a few nights and lots of twists and turns to test your ability to pre-determine the ending. Anthony writes well and involves the reader in the world of the Police, MI5 and MI6 as well as the SAS and recent history. Needless to say, I gave it five well deserved stars.
