Critics Review
Praise for Oscar de Muriel * - *
Fun to read and a fast page-turner … love and murder - they go together like strawberries and cream * Independent *
A hugely entertaining Victorian mystery * The New York Times *
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
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 … Everything you need in a mystery thriller * Crime Review *
This is a fast-paced, well-researched and thoroughly spellbinding read. The mismatched pair is as entertaining as Holmes and Watson at their best, and the supernatural element brings an entertaining twist * The Historical Novel Society *
This is Victorian melodrama at its richest, darkest and most enticing * For Winter Nights *
This entertaining novel combines melodrama with the unhappiness of life backstage – Charlotte Heathcote * Sunday Express *
