Reviews
An entertaining new entry in Harrison's enjoyable series starring fictional recreations of the two famous authors, with subtle humor, period ambience, skulduggery, larger-than-life characters, a clever plot, and a satisfying ending * Booklist * An inspired premise and compelling characters make the third in this series the best to date * Kirkus Reviews * Another strong entry in a series tailor-made for the Masterpiece crowd * Booklist on Winter of Despair * Superior plotting and characterization ... Fans of Harrison's Burren mysteries will be pleased * Publishers Weekly on Winter of Despair * A surprising conclusion, coupled with vivid characters, authentic period details, and a constantly zigzagging plot, makes this a good choice for fans of historical murder mysteries * Booklist on Season of Darkness * The Victorian atmosphere is thick enough to cut with a knife. The real triumph is Harrison's Dickens: sublimely conceited, short-tempered, self-dramatizing, often bombastic * Kirkus Reviews on Season of Darkness *
