“HIGHLY ENTERTAINING.”

—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“An excellent exploration of the classic closed-door mystery. In addition, Perry has really done a good job of providing both the Victorian atmosphere and the air of suspense of a hard-fought courtroom trial.”

—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“Take[s] the reader clue-hunting through the glittery courts of Venice, London, and a never-never-land principality. It’s all rich as a warm scone slathered with jam and clotted cream.”

—St. Petersburg Times

“As always with Anne Perry, readers get a wealth of colorful characters, social and political details and mores, and a fascinating plot.”

—-Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine

“The novel springs to life in the courtroom scenes, where careful investigation and astute teamwork produce some astonishing revelations that presage the end of Victorian propriety and an era’s pretense of innocence.”

—Publishers Weekly
