Critics Review
“This clever mystery is further proof that Siciliano is one of the best contemporary pasticheurs.” - Publishers Weekly starred review (on The Venerable Tiger). “The spirit and tone of the classic Holmes adventures are alive and well in this instalment… If you are a Holmes fan looking for some new adventures with the Great Detective, The Venerable Tiger is one to pick up!” - The Crime Review (on The Venerable Tiger). “The tone is Holmesian to the last detail, with the reader swept along to a satisfying ending. A fine addition to the Holmes canon.” - Library Journal “Siciliano’s tale… is wonderfully atmospheric and moves briskly.” - Publishers Weekly “The [familiar] tale seems fresher and deeper, thanks both to the invigorating presence of Holmes and Vernier and to the wealth of marvellous detail, especially on the Paris Opera House itself.” - Booklist (on The Angel of the Opera).
