Critics Review
In this excellent novel, Dickinson weaves a tale of blackmail and murder among the royals late in Victoria’s reign… [his] knowledge of the arts, history and literature is nothing if not exhaustive, and adds enormously to the overall background… One hopes to see more of Lord Powerscourt and his friends in the near future. - Publishers Weekly
This is detective fiction in the grand style; the characters and the plot soar upwards and carry us in their wake. Powerscourt’s debut in this intoxicating book is the start of a gilded life in the archives of crime.About The Author
