A Promising Series Debut,
By
This review is from: The Merchant's House (The Wesley Peterson Series) (Paperback)
A promising series debut. Ellis combines a 15th century archaelogical mystery with a contemporary murder investigation to good effect, the one thematically mirroring the other. The parallel (which emerges at the end of the book) may appear to be a little contrived, but it works nonetheless. The book cetainly improved as it went on: initially, the prose seemed a little stilted and the characterisation rather shallow. At times, it felt lacking in depth compared to some other comtemporary crime writers; by the end, however, I was absorbed and engaged.

Fantastic read,
By BookMad (Falkirk, Stirlingshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Merchant's House: The Wesley Peterson Series: Book 1 (Paperback)
Thoroughly enjoyed this book.Easy read, great detail especially with regard to the archaeological bits. If you read a lot of crime fiction, then you may work out the ending (which I did but, this however,did not make my enjoyment of the book any less. I hope to get more of the series. I really liked the character of Wesley Peterson and am now feel invested in his life!!
