Fun to read and a fast page-turner … love and murder - they go together like strawberries and cream * Independent *
This entertaining novel combines melodrama with the unhappiness of life backstage – Charlotte Heathcote * Sunday Express *
This is wonderful. A brilliant, moving, clever, lyrical book - I loved it. Oscar de Muriel is going to be a name to watch. – Manda Scott
The Strings of Murder is one of the best debuts so far this year - a brilliant mix of horror, history, and humour. Genuinely riveting with plenty of twists, this will keep you turning the pages. It’s clever, occasionally frightening and superbly written - The Strings Of Murder is everything you need in a mystery thriller. * Crime Review *
