Editorial Reviews

In his third case, the mass pursuit of a married-and-then-widowed beauty may point the way to her husband's killer for architect sleuth Christopher Redmayne in 17th-century London. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Library Journal

This is a thoroughly entertaining romp, an easy read with nice pieces of period dialogue, amusing characters and a puzzle to solve. Just the book for an evening’s read by a snug fire when it’s pouring down outside.
