The Price of Murder

Praise for The Price of Murder“Alexander's got it all: a heroic central figure, a setting that both fascinates and appalls, and a gift for concocting plots that weave in and out of social classes. Also, unlike many writers in this genre, who lay on historical details with a trowel, Alexander brings Georgian England alive with facts fitting the acting. Alexander's detective is a real-life one…This fact-based device gives the novels a sort of Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin feel.”—Booklist (starred review)“Enjoyable.”—Publishers Weekly“An outstanding historical.”—Library JournalMore Praise for the Sir John Fielding Mysteries“Bruce Alexander has mastered the uncommon knack of deftly capturing a period-perfect historical time without endangering the liveliness of the story with excessive detail.”—Los Angeles Times“History has a thrilling way of hitting home in Bruce Alexander's Georgian mysteries.”—The New York Times“Charles Dickens and Arthur Conan Doyle must be beaming down from literary heaven at Bruce Alexander's splendid series. [His] eye for period detail is sharp and subtle; he bring historic England back to life in layers.”—Chicago Tribune
