Review
‘As historical mysteries go, Victorian England has its charms; but dirty, pestilential 18th-century France really promises a walk on the wild side. Jean-François Parot delivers on that pledge with gusto.’ Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
‘Suspenseful...This intelligent page-turner doesn't sacrifice detail for plot or visa-versa.’ - Publishers Weekly
‘Those who love historical mysteries will relish the period detail, court intrigues and tightly plotted story. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.’ Iloveamysterynewsletter.com
