Synopsis

Lucy Dove is the toast of London's Covent Garden stage. Matthew Hemsley is not the first to be smitten by her. Robert Fairfax has strict orders to make sure Matthew behaves on his visit. So when Lucy is found dead, with Matthew on her doorstep, Fairfax has to find answers to some crucial questions.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

THE COMPLAINT OF THE DOVE has more than a charismatic protagonist. March has created a felicitously realised Georgian mystery, and setting a detective novel in the age of Moll Flanders is a masterstroke... THE DEVIL'S HIGHWAY is equally as exuberant (THE TIMES)

'A gloriously rich tale of London at its grandest and seamiest, well told, at a cracking pace.' Newcastle upon Tyne Evening Chronicle

Written well with a great deal of self-assurance. I liked the period detail and the characterisation of the large cast of suspects (Deryn Lake, SHOTS)
