Recenzii

"This is a series for the ages, it's so spectacular."--Gillian Flynn, #1 "New York Times" bestselling author of "Gone Girl"
Praise for "Seven for a Secret"
"New York must have been a helluva town in 1846...Timothy Wilde, who rescued child prostitutes in Lyndsay Faye's rip-roaring novel "The Gods of Gotham," returns."--"The New York Times Book Review"
"Atmospheric and exciting."--"The Wall Street Journal" "Memorable lead characters."--"The Oregonian"
"This gripping, beautifully written, chilling, hearbreaking, and exciting novel by Lyndsay Faye is a completely immersive experience.....filled with vivid characterization, beautiful language, period slang (a glossary is provided), a gorgeous plot, and with incredibly evocative settings and heartbreaking twists of fate. In short, this is an amazingly rich story, worthy of the word 'epic, '...This is definitely one of the finest crime novels of the year."--"Mystery Scene"
"Faye once again skillfully evokes the early days of the NYPD in this gripping and moving sequel to 2012's "The Gods of Gotham," and Edgar finalist...Simple but effective prose, a brilliantly constructed plot, and three-dimensional characters add up to another winner for Faye."--"Publishers Weekly "(starred review)
"[Faye's] second novel is doubly impressive. Readers of historical and genre fiction will appreciate the twist and turns of this original series."--"Library Journal" (starred review)
"Captures the tumult of its time and place in an action-packed plot with elements of tragedy and hope, featuring a protagonist who fights for what is right in the face of corruption. Superlative historical mystery."--"Booklist"
"As was the case in "The Gods of Gotham," Faye folds a blistering indictment of prejudice and persecution of the defenseless within a satisfyingly complex mystery...Vividly atmospheric; the thieves' slang all by itself evokes 19th-century New York with wonderful specificity. Le
