‘Taylor’s mastery of plot and character show to great effect in a story that has a depth few other historical crime novels can match’

Sunday Times

‘Effortlessly authentic … gripping … moving and believable. An excellent work’

C. J. Sansom

‘As a writer, Taylor wears his learning lightly and shares with Hilary Mantel the capacity to take the reader directly into a vanished world’

TLS

‘The most consummate writer of historical fiction today. He achieves to perfection the crucial balance between the mystery to be solved and the historical context surrounding it’

The Times

‘Andrew Taylor has been quietly producing superb historical fiction since long before Hilary Mantel’s Man Booker wins bestowed literary respectability on the genre’

Daily Telegraph

‘If you liked C. J. Sansom, or Hilary Mantel, you’ll love Andrew Taylor’

Peter James

‘Taylor is as good at this period as C. J. Sansom is at Tudor England, and like him pulls off novels that work both as literary fiction and detective stories’

Independent

‘Hugely entertaining, beguiling and atmospheric’

Observer

‘Andrew Taylor is one of the most imaginative historical novelists writing today’

Globe and Mail
