What They're Saying

Critics Review

The storytelling is dazzling, as it always is in a Perry novel * New York Times *There is a freshness about [Perry’s] writing which makes it truly exceptional and I was gripped until the final page. Death on Blackheath was one of the best books I’ve read this year and I cannot recommend it highly enough * Eurocrime *Much more than a whodunit, [A Sunless Sea], possibly the author’s best yet, is especially effective at providing a nuanced look at a vital controversy of the day * Publisher’s Weekly *The investigation concludes in a hold-your-breath trial… A brilliant Victorian police procedural in which well-realized characters and settings are fascinating in themselves * Booklist *Anne Perry’s Victorian mysteries are marvels of plot construction… truly remarkable * New York Times *
