Recenzii

'Andrew Taylor is arguably the most consummate writer of historical fiction today. He achieves to perfection the crucial balance between the mystery to be solved and the historical context surrounding it. A mesmeric read' The Times 'An absorbing and harrowing epic historical detective novel ... Taylor is as good at this period as C. J. Sansom is at Tudor England, and like him pulls off novels that work both as literary fiction and detective stories' Independent 'Andrew Taylor has been producing superb historical fiction since long before Hilary Mantel's Man Booker wins bestowed literary respectability on the genre' Daily Telegraph 'Taylor once again shows how skilful a historical novelist he is' The Sunday Times
