Witty and cunningly plotted . . . as entertaining as her first

Sunday Times

[Gabriel Ward KC is] one of the most attractive figures to appear in crime fiction recently. Sally Smith ... brings both lightness of touch and elegance of prose to her enchanting story

Literary Review

A masterful voice in the mystery world. As you'd expect from an ex-King's Counsel, her language is as rich as it is precise ... Topsy Tillotson is a heroine I thoroughly enjoyed rooting for, and the court scenes are a heart-in-mouth highlight. I'm a big fan of the series and I'm already looking forward to Gabriel's next adventure

S. J. Bennett, bestselling author of Death in Diamonds

Absolutely exquisite and a total charm. It reminds me of Dickens at his best. An utterly joyous read that sends you back in time with effortless skill

Imran Mahmood, author of Finding Sophie

An excellent and well-paced story, and the anachronistic world of the bar is brilliantly described ... I look forward to the next
