Reviews
...vividly written, tightly plotted, meticulously detailed and replete with richly developed characters.--Joan Barfoot "London Free Press"
Mel Bradshaw dazzled many readers with his historical mystery Death in the Age of Steam. His ability to capture the sounds, smells and actions of the people of early Victorian Toronto was superb. Now he's done it again, but we've moved ahead to 1926.--Margaret Cannon "The Globe and Mail"
Bradshaw has a winner here, and potential for a series.--Jeff George "Quill & Quire"
Life all well-crafted historical mysteries, this novel is a double delight. Not onyl does it tantalize with a deliciously circuitous unraveling of the crime, it also totally immerses the reader in another and fascinating world...Bradshaw is especially effective at conveying the feel of postwar Toronto - its grimy street, utilitarian tramcars, stuffy offices, and "blind pig" saloons. Following Shenstone around is as fascinating in its own way as accompanying Sherlock through the thoroughfares of Victorian London.--Edward Morris "ForeWord Review"
Bradshaw does a very good job of developing his characters and setting his scenes while being concise in his descriptions...I enjoyed reading this book and recommend it to those who like historical mysteries.--Barbara Coombs "The Missing Clue Newsletter"
