Reviews

""Daniel Victor takes full advantage of the perfect backdrop for a murder mystery, while bringing to his readers' attention another American writer whose neglect is undeserved. Highly recommended!"" -Tom Turley, author of Watson's Wives ""Victor excels at conjuring an eerie gothic ambience, and his Holmes and Watson are far more convincing than those found in other pastiches."" -Publishers Weekly ""Daniel D. Victor deserves his fine reputation. . . . He makes it look easy to master language as elegantly and as unpretentiously as he does."" -Historical Novel Society
