Critics Review
Jill Paton Walsh has…given us a Lord Peter story in the true Sayers’ style and tradition - Norma Major - The Week on Thrones, Dominations
An engrossing, intelligent and provocative novel in the guise of a conventional mystery. - Joyce Carol Oates, New York Times Book ReviewCould this be the best book Dorothy L. Sayers never wrote? She has done a splendid job - certain to please the legions of Sayers loyalists as well as readers new to the Wimsey canon … Lord Peter has been made much more human and interesting by marriage… and the story is full of twists and connivance. - Chicago Tribune on THRONES, DOMINATIONSAn admirable page-turner with some fascinating detail - Publishing NewsAbout The Author
