Media Reviews
A suitably labyrinthine plot... Above all, it is King's sheer gift for storytelling that makes Ex Libris such an enjoyable read. -- The Oxford Times
Highly original and very clever indeed. -- Manchester Evening News
An exquisite historical thriller and a story which twists and turns like the beautifully-evoked back streets of 17th century London. -- Yorkshire Evening Post
Ross King is a master craftsman of extravagant melodrama. -- Irish Times
