"This clever mystery is further proof that Siciliano is one of the best contemporary pasticheurs."– Publishers Weekly starred review"The spirit and tone of the classic Holmes adventure are alive and well in this instalment. If you are a Holmes fan looking for some new adventures with the Great Detective, The Venerable Tiger is one to pick up!– The Crime Review“A nice nod to the canon” – Girl Who ReadsPraise for Sam Siciliano:“The tone is Homesian to the last detail, with the reader swept along to a satisfying ending. A fine addition to the Holmes canon.” Library Journal“Siciliano’s tale… is wonderfully atmospheric and moves briskly.” Publishers Weekly“The [familiar] tale seems fresher and deeper, thanks both to the invigorating presence of Holmes and Vernier and to the wealth of marvelous detail, especially on the Paris Opera House itself.” Booklist (on The Angel of the Opera)
