"Tightly plotted, with no skimping on either the nuances of character or the wonderfully evocative descriptions . . . a true pleasure to read"
Guardian
"May's flair for narrative, characterization and evocative descriptions of various locales and historic tidbits ... fresh and delightfully readable - catnip for armchair sleuths. "
