Book Overview: 'Erast Fandorin had been called a 19th-century James Bond, and there are similarities ... but Fandorin is more human than Bond, and Akunin more witty than Fleming.' Daily Telegraph 'It is all written with splendid style, panache, inventiveness, humour and self-awareness ... perfect examples of escapist literature.' Allan Massie 'High-spirited and more than a little camp, Akunin blends MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS with AND THEN THERE WERE NONE and adds a dash of A STUDY IN SCARLET.' Scotland on Sunday 'Gloriously tongue-in-cheek' Daily Express 'A thoroughly enjoyable read' The Independent on Sunday
