Review:
Music hall's heyday lovingly recalled as Sergeant Cribb and Constable Thackeray cope with limelit poisoning and Victorian permissiveness . . . thoroughly entertaining - Guardian (Guardian)
Sinister fun in splendidly atmospheric setting (Sunday Telegraph)
It's a tangled business, both evil and intricate. Very much Grade A (John Dickson Carr, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine)
For a delightful, offbeat offering in the mystery field try Peter Lovesey's Abracadaver (San Francisco Examiner)
Lovesey has a special flair for re-creating Victorian England with to-the-manner-born wit. I love Lovesey (Saturday Review)
