Rezensionen

I don't know how he does it [_I do, actually: great talent and damned hard work_] but Gyles Brandreth's Oscar Wilde Murder Mysteries get better and better . . . positively dazzling. Oscar is on sunny form, but the clouds are gathering. Like its central character, The Nest of Vipers is both witty and profound. It's also devilishly clever The District Messenger - Newsletter of the Sherlock Holmes Society
