"An altogether satisfying historical mystery."--Booklist
"[An] audacious mix of cultural gloss and uncomplicated, straight-ahead storytelling. The multi-layered nuance of Peter Ackroyd and the buttonholing narrative grasp of Stephen King are stirred into the mix."--The Independent (UK) "A new Imogen Robertson book is fast becoming something of an event. ...this follow-up does not disappoint. As ever, the characters are enticing and the plot absorbing. If you've not read the previous books, do not despair--they each stand alone. But if you have time on your hands, now is your chance to catch up."--The Independent (UK)
Praise for Instruments of Darkness: "A sensitive melodrama. . . . Robertson's enjoyment of the period and her characters is infectious."--The New York Times Book Review (Editor's Choice)
"A thoroughly engaging novel, with rich prose and an intricate, suspenseful plot, with melodramatic, Gothic touches in perfect keeping with the historical period. Robertson has already written another Westerman/Crowther mystery. . . . let us hope for many more."
--Associated Press
"Every so often I encounter a book that makes me think with envy: 'How I wish I could have written this story!' Instruments of Darkness is just that book--poetic, enchanting, and chillingly memorable. Imogen Robertson is an exquisite writer, and this is an extraordinary novel."
--Tess Gerritsen, author of The Silent Girl
"Mayhem runs amok in this period thriller. [Robertson] pulls out all the stops. . . a roaring soap opera of a novel."
--The Washington Times
"Impressive . . . A ripping homage to Dickens, Austen and Conan Doyle, Instruments of Darkness will keep you up at night, and then, like me, waiting for the sequel."
--Seattle Times
"The book works splendidly as a period thriller, with complicated leads and informative details that illuminate 18th-century England for modern readers."
--Publishers Weekly
"This debut is getting some play and should well serve lovers of historical suspense."
--Library Journal
Shortlisted for the CWA Ellis Peters Historical Award 2011
