Hollow Crown Reviews

Praise for David Roberts:
Roberts just keeps getting better with each book in this historical series... This is first-rate fun, informed by telling period detail and an intelligent portrayal of the political issues behind the Abdication Crisis. It's highly recommended too for fans of Love in a Cold Climate and Gosford Park * Publishers Weekly *
A classic murder mystery with as complex a plot as one could hope for and a most engaging pair of amateur sleuths whom I look forward to encountering again in future novels * Charles Osborne, author of The Life and Crimes of Agatha Christie *
Roberts' use of period detail... gives the tale terrific texture. Recommend this one heartily to history-mystery devotees * Booklist *
This is a witty and meticulous recreation of the class-ridden middle England of the 1930s... a perfect example of golden-age mystery traditions with the cobwebs swept away, for the many readers who like their sleuthing elegant and their sex and violence concealed behind the curtains * Guardian *
A gripping, richly satisfying whodunit with finely observed characters, sparkling with insouciance and stinging menace * Peter James *
A really well-crafted and charming mystery story * Daily Mail *
