"The craft and care with which author Truss weaves her facts into a richly narrated but utterly hilarious tapestry is amazing. Give to Truss' fans as well as those who enjoy Christopher Fowler's Bryant and May mysteries." - Booklist "This character-driven investigation includes delightfully batty characters and situations. The author's flair for language adds to the book, as do the colorful 'extras, ' including the Brighton Belles (pretty young women who act as goodwill ambassadors), the musicians who perform at a local venue, a humbug seller, and horrendously fake waxwork parlor shopkeepers." - Library Journal "Great attention to details of the period and the various conflicts between the social classes is lavished on the setting and characters. Truss perfectly blends humor and detection." - Publishers Weekly One looks forward with glee to the novel's culmination-and to this quick-learning constable's future adventures." - The Wall Street Journal "A worthy follow-up to her delightful 2018 novel A Shot in the Dark.
