Bloomsbury presents The Secrets of Gaslight Lane by M.R.C. Kasasian, read by Emma Gregory.

Fresh, funny crime series for fans of Jasper Fforde and M.C. Beaton.
'Delightful and original... A series that could well become a cult' DAILY MAIL.

125 Gower Street, 1883.

All is quiet at 125 Gower Street. Sidney Grice is swotting up on the anatomical structure of human hair whilst his ward, March Middleton, sneaks upstairs for her eighth secret cigarette of the day. The house is, perhaps, too quiet.

So when a beautiful young woman turns up, imploring London's formost personal detective to solve the mystery of her father's murder, Grice can barely disguise his glee.

Mr Nathan Garstang was found slaughtered in his bed, with no trace of a weapon or intruder. A classic locked-room case... or is it?

Praise for THE SECRETS OF GASLIGHT LANE:

'So refreshing... These stand out in what is a heavily populated genre... Clever and beautifully written' CRIME REVIEW.

'Atmospheric writing, quirky characters, droll wit, and macabre touches. A treat for series fans' LIBRARY JOURNAL.

'Pure amusing enjoyment' NEW BOOKS MAGAZINE.

Commentaires

What is so refreshing about the Gower Street series is that they are never quite what you expect – these unusual originals stand out in what is a heavily populated genre. Never pompous, but clever, beautifully written, with some mesmerising characters, humour and pathos
Pure amusing enjoyment
The jaw-dropping cleverness of Kasasian and his Gower Street detectives shines again. Witty, seemingly irrelevant asides; parallels to former cases; and magnificent leaps of logic provide hours of speculative entertainment for readers. The extraordinary cast of characters remind one of Terry Pratchett's confections
This series is reminiscent of Dickens and Lemony Snicket with reminders of Sherlock Holmes. The writing is funny, witty, and macabre, and the characters are eccentric and quirky
This distinctive historical series is highlighted by its atmospheric writing, quirky characters, droll wit, and macabre touches. A treat for series fans
The Secrets of Gaslight Lane reveals a mystery wrapped in an enigma, with hints, hidden passages, dropped lockets, and cagey household servants.With its tongue quite firmly in its cheek, it out-Holmeses Holmes, it out-Victorias Victoria. It is a burlesque of all Victorian novels and, probably most especially, of our modern notions of Victorian novels
