Publishers Weekly (STARRED)
Punctuated by graphic newspaper reports, clever poems and puzzles, this thriller builds to a tense and riveting climax.
Booklist
Gray teases a brilliant portrait of nineteenth-century British life from the story's many strands. He also manages to take familiar, even stock characters and paint them fresh and frighteningly new. Put this in the hands of those who
liked Caleb Carr's The Alienist.
Kirkus Reviews (STARRED)
Teeming with Dickensian reprobates, an elegantly written, artfully mischievous romp.
The Globe and Mail
This is a wildly amusing novel that can be read just for fun. It's also a reminder that the Victorians, having created the myth of childhood perfection, violated it without mercy. http://www.theglobeandmail.com
Chicago Tribune
Still more evidence that the British mystery is alive and kicking.
The Best Reviews Harriet Klausner
WHITE STONE DAY, the sequel to the spellbinding THE FIEND IN HUMAN, is a terrific Victorian investigative tale. Great historical mystery.
