Media Reviews
'I could hardly out this book down! Tim Pigott-Smith is a brilliant story-teller and his books about the Irregulars are absolute winners!' * Families Magazine *
'a fast-moving adventure spiced with danger, nefarious villains and humour.' * School Librarian *
'The Dragon Tattoo' is a rattling good yarn. Anyone writing a new Sherlock Holmes tale needs sharp wits and a keen sense of drama, and Tim Pigott-Smith has those in abundance. I look forward to further adventures of the Baker Street Irregulars from this skilful storyteller. * Philip Pullman *
'A pacy, compelling thriller with a strong plot and believable characters ... Really evocative of the streets of Victorian London, this is a series that is likely to run and run.' * Lovereading 4 kids *
'This is an exciting page-turner of a story with fantastic characters.' * Families *
'exciting, full of danger and adventure' * School Librarian *
'breathlessly exciting adventures' * Sherlock Holmes Society Magazine *
