Media Reviews
A rich tapestry of period details . . . Perry keeps up the suspense right to the end. -- Baltimore Sun When it comes to the Victorian murder mystery, no one can top [Anne] Perry. . . . This is one of her best. -- San Francisco Examiner Scenes are brilliantly etched . . . [Perry is] the most adroit sleight-of-hand practitioner since Agatha Christie. -- Chicago Sun-Times Meticulously constructed . . . Perry's images of the carnage and confusion of battle are relentless in their intensity, unflinching in their truth-telling detail. -- The New York Times Book Review A welcome and entertaining read . . . Perry writes with a deft sense of history and place. -- The Cincinnati Post
