Praise for Anne Perry: Just when you think you have it figured out, think again! No one can capture and bring to life the drama, excitement, and feel of Victorian England like Perry
A triumph... a model of the richness and subtleties of relationships, characters, and story construction
Masterful... darkly chilling... [Anne] Perry eloquently delivers to her readers the flavor of Victorian England... Readers will be kept entertained - and guessing - right up to the final pages
Few mystery writers this side of Arthur Conan Doyle can evoke Victorian London with such relish for detail and mood
Perry spins a clever tale, filled with as many twists and turns as the labyrinthine world and city of which she writes
[Perry's] early-Victorian series... has deepened and darkened its insights into the social evils that burdened London's underclasses
Her Victorian England pulsates with life and is peopled with wonderfully memorable characters
When it comes to the Victorian mystery, Anne Perry has proved that nobody does it better
Perry has a wonderful feel for period and remains utterly convincing
The period detail remains fascinating, and [Perry's] grasp of Victorian character and conscience still astonishes
