Critics Review
Praise for A Dickens of a Crime Mystery Series
“Mystery fans and history buffs alike should cheer.”
—Kirkus, STARRED Review on A Tale of Two Murders
“One of the most satisfying mysteries you will read this year.”
—Suspense Magazine on Grave Expectations
“A complex and highly satisfying mystery. Redmond weaves Dickensian themes—wealth and poverty, love and rejection—seamlessly throughout the story while evoking a Victorian era that feels immediate and alive. Fans of Anne Perry will love this one.”
—Dianne Freeman, author of the Countess of Harleigh Mysteries
“Meticulous attention to historical details and the known elements of Dickens’s life … a complex mystery that cunningly explores how Dickens might have been inspired to write the plot of his most well-known book … Sharp, incisive, and delightfully twisty. I’m sure I won’t be the only reader exclaiming, ‘What the Dickens?!’”
—Anna Lee Huber, bestselling author of the Lady Darby Mysteries
“For Dickens fans this charming little puzzler will prove a delight.”
—Booklist on A Tale of Two Murders
“One suspects that Mr. Dickens himself would thoroughly enjoy this literary play on his early life and sleuthing abilities. Great fun to read!”
—Catherine Lloyd, author of the Kurland St. Mary Mysteries
“A Tale of Two Murders is an all-over twisty read and a Dickens of a good mystery!”
—Julie Mulhern, USA Today bestselling author of The Country Club Murders
