"Praise for A Dickens of a Crime Mystery series ""Mystery fans and history buffs alike should cheer."" --Kirkus, STARRED Review ""One of the most satisfying mysteries you will read this year."" --Suspense Magazine on Grave Expectations ""A complex and highly satisfying mystery. Redmond weaves Dickensian themes--wealth and poverty, love and rejection--seamlessly throughout the story while evoking a Victorian era that feels immediate and alive. Fans of Anne Perry will love this one."" --Dianne Freeman, author of the Countess of Harleigh Mysteries ""Meticulous attention to historical details and the known elements of Dickens's life . . . a complex mystery that cunningly explores how Dickens might have been inspired to write the plot of his most well-known book . . . Sharp, incisive, and delightfully twisty. I'm sure I won't be the only reader exclaiming, 'What the Dickens?!'"" --Anna Lee Huber, bestselling author of the Lady Darby Mysteries ""For Dickens fans this charming little puzzler will prove a delight."" --Booklist ""One suspects that Mr. Dickens himself would thoroughly enjoy this literary play on his early life and sleuthing abilities. Great fun to read!"" --Catherine Lloyd, author of the Kurland St. Mary Mysteries ""A Tale of Two Murders is an all-over twisty read and a Dickens of a good mystery!"" --Julie Mulhern, USA Today bestselling author of The Country Club Murders"
