“Fresh and satisfying … the book’s supporting characters are as interesting and robust as the two series leads (Dams really is a fine character builder), and the story is thoroughly engaging, with plenty of twists and a solid dark streak running through it”

“Pleasant ... Anglophiles, especially those like Dorothy and Alan “who are no longer young,” will have fun”

“Notable for its charming protagonists and historical detail”

“Intriguing … Cozy fans and Anglophiles will be satisfied”

“The author's tale-telling and dialogue—the back and forth of a comfortable couple is wonderfully depicted—will serve to draw readers in. Dams’ followers know what to expect and will be happy to find it here”

“A travelogue, a complex mystery, and an empathetic look at the horrific nature of dementia”

“Tension runs high until the surprise ending, the depravity tempered by lyrical descriptions of Victoria and environs”

“Anglophiles and history buffs alike will enjoy the cozy mystery merged with travelogue details … perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen and Alexander McCall Smith”

“An Anglophile’s delight piled high with enchanting details of arcane rituals, all neatly wrapped around a nice little case of murder”

“Fans of the series will be pleased to see this engaging heroine once more”
