Released: June 1, 2011
"Far from Lovesey at his best, without the wit, trickery and demonic plotting that has earned him silver, gold and diamond daggers from the British Crime Writers' Association."
FICTION
Released: Sept. 1, 2000
"Everything the cerebral puzzle-addict craves, from tempting red herrings to literary arcana to deliciously plotted surprises."
Nobody is better at misdirecting the gentle reader and snaking together multiple storylines than the wily Lovesey, who in his sixth case for Peter Diamond, tendentious head of Bath's Murder Squad (Upon a Dark Night, 1998, etc.), unearths various body parts underneath number five, Abbey Churchyard, the former home of Frankenstein's creator Mary Shelley.

"Lovesey, who can out–Christie Dame Agatha when he sets his mind to it, offers a smorgasbord of red herrings, a nifty plot twist, charming bits of doggerel and delicious digs at writers of the unpublishable."
An old-fashioned whodunit with the style and deviousness you'd expect from a master storyteller.

Released: May 1, 2009
"A roundup of the most genial puzzles from Lovesey (The Headhunters, 2008, etc.) presents a welcome relief from the noir psychodramas so many other practitioners have on offer."
Fourteen short stories originally published between 2003 and 2007--with one exception harking back to 1989--that do full credit to Lovesey's reputation as a Diamond Dagger winner.
