Review
****'Burman's extraordinary feeling for history and eccentric wit make for a most unusual kind of crime caper.' Independent on Sunday --Independent on Sunday
As far as escapism goes, this is as good as it gets: at times I felt as if I was actually in the book.' Vulpes Libris --Vulpes Libris
'This mystery novel is an entertaining and sometimes humorous trip to London back in the year 1851...Death's translation to English is so smooth there isn't any evidence that the story was first told in another language. The characters are vivid, and the reader will feel as if they are part of the events as they unfold. The story takes us on a captivating trip back in time with interesting - and at times quirky - individuals, who quickly come to feel like friends.' Blogcritics.org --Blogcritics.org
