Critics Review
Taylor is the modern master of a very Dickensian underworld… A sense of brooding evil pervades the complex plot, handled with great assurance

Taylor is the modern master of a very Dickensian underworld… A sense of brooding evil pervades the complex plot, handled with great assurance * Independent *
The period atmosphere, as in all Taylor’s work, is flawless. He simply gets better and better * Daily Telegraph *
