A little bit Margery Allingham with hints of Mitford, definite tones of Eva Ibbotson and as delightful as I Capture the Castle, D is for Death is an instant classic. I loved it so much – Marian KeyesA fun, charming mystery with a brilliant heroine you’ll fall in love with! * Good Housekeeping *I am now a Dora addict … so wonderful – Natasha PoliszczukThis isn’t your average cosy crime novel. With an Agatha Christie-esque murder mystery and a perceptive, hugely likeable amateur sleuth to guide the way, this is an entertaining and nostalgic whodunnit with vivid period detail * Culturefly *A brilliant whodunnit * Woman *A charming and authentic ode to Golden Age crime fiction and to books in general. In a genre replete with world-weary cynicism, Dora Wildwood makes for an endearingly optimistic feminist sleuth – Chris BrookmyreAn absolute delight, perfect for fans of classic crime * Irish Times *A charming, beautifully crafted pastiche of the 1930s crime novels of Dorothy L. Sayers and Agatha Christie, with an Enola Holmes/Miss Marple-like heroine in Dora * Irish Independent *A glorious, stylish story of passion, poison and peril – Lucy DiamondWhat a world, what a plot, what a cast - a masterpiece! – Veronica HenrySo good and funny … bristling with loveable characters – Laura WoodFunny, gripping and full of great period detail and distinctive characters, particularly the quirky and loveable Dora – Fanny BlakeA passionate and surprisingly emotional love letter to the golden age of crime and all the good things in life * Red *A glorious plot, brimming with charming and endearing characters, this novel is a joy * Platinum *Fun new crime series * MyWeekly *
