Recenzii

The atmosphere is exceptional - you hear and smell and taste Victorian London - while the themes are thoroughly up to date. Alex has combined painstaking historical research with a deep and compassionate understanding of what matters most to us, right now
The writing sings with gorgeous description but, more than that, achieves poignancy through Leo's keen sense of how it feels to be misunderstood. Here is an investigator with an open heart. Immaculately researched, sensitively written and, as ever, highly exciting
This series goes from strength to strength, and the relationships between the characters elevate it from any standard mystery. I'm already longing for the next Leo Stanhope instalment
Reeve has not only crafted a brilliant crime novel, but has created a character who has made me see the world with new eyes
Wonderfully atmospheric, each page carries the whiff of sulphur and gaslight
A deeply atmospheric thriller with more twists and turns than the grubby streets of London, and a central character we really care about
