What The Critics Said

‘If you like classic era mysteries complete with a dash of humour, then this is your cup of Earl Grey… a rattling good murder mystery with a whole fishmonger’s worth of red herrings. It is not easy to craft this type of thing convincingly…this one more than succeeds.’

‘The classic British mystery lives and flourishes. Delightful’

New York Times

‘Great fun…works up to a solution with incredible split-second timing…and an outrageously convoluted explanation. Deftly handled’

Washington Post

‘Had Dame Agatha not been sitting so securely in her chair I would have hazarded a guess that
James Anderson…might be on his way to usurp her position in the hearts and minds of the
whodunit-loving public’

The Bookseller

‘Marvellous’

Time Out

'An amalgam of the styles of Agatha Christie and DL Sayers with a dash of PG Woodhouse…a most entertaining, nostalgic read'

Historical Novels Review

‘A triumph of ingenuity. Excellent escapism’

Sunday Telegraph
