Rezensionen
'Rubin brings Sherlock back to blazing life in this intriguing new mystery' Crime Monthly

'Rubin gives Holmes and Moriarty an authentic feel . . . weaving enough Conan Doyle in to feel right and infusing it with an originality . . . convincing, highly entertaining and smart' CrimeTime FM

'If you loved Gareth's 2023 novel The Turnglass, then make this top of your TBR pile . . . Such a pacy read, and one not just for Holmes fans but anyone who enjoys a race against time' Belfast Telegraph

'I was literally holding my breath towards the end of the book; I thoroughly enjoyed it' South London Press

'A mouth-wateringly ingenious premise' The Telegraph

'Entertaining and a pleasant addition to a growing post-Conan Doyle canon' Crime Time

Praise for The Turnglass:

'Murder, mystery and secrets combine to create a dazzling achievement that will hook you in' Best

'Your initial amazement at his ingenuity comes to sit alongside an appreciation of the heart and depth he brings to his stories. A risky idea, beautifully executed' The Telegraph…mehr
