Recenzii

A gripping, fast-paced read stuffed full of atmosphere and murder most foul
The second novel in the Leo Stanhope series stands alone, and it's well worth your time . A deeply atmospheric thriller with more twists and turns than the grubby streets of London, and a central character we really care about
Leo Stanhope was one of the finest literary creations of last year - a fully realised trans amateur detective in Victorian London
A gripping tale that twists like the dark back streets of Victorian London to a devastating conclusion, The Anarchist's Club and its colourful cast will not let you go. Leo Stanhope is a wonderful creation, his world atmospheric and terrifying, and his own story as powerful and enthralling as the mysteries he investigates
Another class act from Alex Reeve. Leo is a brilliant hero: clever and flawed, infuriating and at the same time someone I root for at every turn
Highly original
Reeve has not only crafted a brilliant crime novel, but has created a character who has made me see the world with new eyes. I await Leo's - and Reeve's - return eagerly
A masterful Gothic mystery full of unsettling twists, riveting turns and characters that would make Dickens jealous
Creating a genuinely original protagonist in historical crime fiction is difficult, but Alex Reeve has succeeded ... An intriguing murder mystery and a complex portrait of a man isolated by his awareness of who he truly is
This tense, emotional journey through late-Victorian London has an unusual and memorable young hero at its heart, carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders
