Recenzii
A gaslit gallop through Victorian London
A terrific read. As one would expect of Morrell, it is compulsive and thrilling, but its use of de Quincey also allows for discursions that are both funny and touching - de Quincey and his daughter are great additions to the detective stage, and I hope we will have a lot more of them to come.
[An] exceptional historical mystery...page-flipping action, taut atmosphere, and multifaceted characters
Shockingly real...Morrell's thorough and erudite research of the people and culture of the British Empire's heyday informs every page. A literary thriller that pushes the envelope of fear
Masterful...brilliantly plotted....evokes 1854 London with such finesse that you'll hear the hooves clattering on cobblestones
Brilliant. Everything works - the horrifying depiction of the murders, the asides explaining the impact of train travel on English society, nail-biting action sequences - making this book an epitome of the intelligent page-turner.
David Morrell fans - and they are Legion - can look forward to celebrating Murder As a Fine Art as one of their favorite author's strongest and boldest books in years.
Praise for David Morrell
The finest thriller writer living today, bar none.
A master of suspense....If you're reading Morrell, you're sitting on the edge of your seat.
An absolute master of the thriller
The father of the modern action novel
Nobody does this better than David Morrell
A titan among thriller writers.
Master storyteller David Morrell . . . thrills us with heart-pounding suspense while tugging at our emotions.
