What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Fandorin delights with his silken ironies and smart manoeuvres… this latest case shows a crime star of all the Russias still blazing bright”
Akunin is an outstanding novelist … Gloriously tongue-in-cheek but seriously edge-of-your-seat at the same time * Daily Express *Fandorin delights … a crime star * Independant *What Akunin’s books have in common is charm, elegant writing, abundant wit - and Erast Fandorin … He is a delightful character like no other in crime fiction * The Times *Fandorin is a debonair combo of Sherlock Holmes, D-Artagnan and most of the soulful heroes of Russian literature … Andrew Bromfield’s translation is key to maintaining the entertaining period pastiche * Sunday Telegraph *The perfect Sunday afternoon read! * Scotland on Sunday *
