Recenzii
Praise for The King of Diamonds
**Named one of "Kirkus Reviews'" Best Fiction Mysteries of 2011**
"Compulsively readable. As Tolkien lays out a story that's grounded in diamond-dealing and the Holocaust, the tension builds with inexorable strength. And Tolkien's nuanced portrait of the Traves is a compassionate study in the travails of marriage. Crafted with cunning and imbued with menace, "The King of Diamonds" adds luster to Tolkien's growing reputation as a brilliant star in the thriller firmament." --"Richmond Times Dispatch"
"A thick web of family tensions and psychological dysfunction with a whodunit chaser, Tolkien's third novel (The Inheritance, 2010, etc.) is elegantly written, with Masterpiece Theatre pacing and embellishments." --Kirkus, starred review
"Another literary success for [Simon Tolkien]...The claim comparing Simon Tolkien to Agatha Christie and John Grisham is not to be taken lightly. The ironic part is just how true this statement is. The King of Diamonds combines a deeply layered mystery with several interesting characters along with the intrigue of criminal trails and police chases. Set against very real historical context like the Holocaust and the hunt for Adolf Eichmann... gives much credibility to a great read and a thoroughly engaging thriller." -Bookreporter.com
Critical Acclaim for Simon Tolkien and "The Inheritance"
"Tolkien's writing has a timeless quality [and] the haunting undertones of other great masters of mystery." -USA Today
"A fine novel. A thinking person's Da Vinci Code." --Chicago Tribune
"Simon Tolkien's grandfather is J. R. R., but his new novel owes more to Agatha Christie--and Dan Brown." --New York Times
"A deft combination of Agatha Christie manor-house whodunit, Erle Stanley Gardner courtroom drama and Dan Brown thriller, The Inheritance is nonetheless unique to its creator. And Tolkien, with this compelling read, proves himself worthy--and then some--of
Praise for Orders from Berlin
"Jack Higgins fans will enjoy Tolkien's exciting third suspense novel featuring Det. Insp. William Trave... Heartfelt evocations of the horrors of war, in particular the effects of the bombing raids on Londoners, show Tolkien has upped his game." -"Publishers Weekly"
"In the early years of World War II, a plot as ingenious as it is outrageous unfolds in London and Berlin... Satisfying twists and authentic WWII elements should keep readers engaged." --"Kirkus"
