"Edward Marston is exceptionally good at building tension, fleshing out secondary characters and smoothly integrating his subplots into the main action... Highly enjoyable, full of surprising twists, and with a strong cast of duplicitous characters, Date with the Executioner is another well-executed novel by a reliably masterful storyteller."--Nicholas Litchfield "Lancashire Post "
"Edward Marston invariably comes up with a lively and involving tale in all his books... this is a book that hits the ground running with vigorous events happening on every page, and therefore a lot to recommend it. The Regency period is most often depicted in romances which focus usually solely on high society, so it is a treat to read about the seamier side and see what else was happening. This is now shaping up to be yet another of the talented and versatile Mr Marston's entertaining mystery series.--Rachel A. Hyde "MyShelf.Com "
"With a taut plot, strong characters, and scheming villains with an ingenious, if deadly, plan to gain a fortune, the story gallops at a furious pace through the streets of Victorian London... Although the latest in the series, this can be read as a standalone book. Fans of the genre, will find this an enjoyable romp through Victorian crime. Recommended."-- (08/01/2017)
