Media Reviews
Praise for The Immaculate Deception: 'The writing is graceful, the characters are people in whose company it would be a delight to pass an evening. And Pears gives a rich sense of what it is to live in raddled, ever-glorious Rome' Donna Leon, Sunday Times 'With his attractive evocation of Berenson-type connoisseurs in crumbling Italian villas, Pears is that rare bird: a crime writer who can grip without gore' Jane Jakeman, Independent 'An intricately plotted, entertaining murder mystery' Observer Review 'Superior entertainment' Allan Massie, Scotsman 'There is nothing so satisfactory as the deconstruction of a puzzle in the hands of such an erudite and sure-footed author' Elizabeth Buchan, Times
