The Washington Post
Patrick Anderson
If you have a taste for the sardonic, this sophisticated literary thriller is utterly delicious.

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.
