Revue de presse
A gaslit gallop through Victorian London (Financial Times)
A terrific read. As one would expect of Morrell, it is compulsive and thrilling, but its use of de Quincey also allows for discursions that are both funny and touching - de Quincey and his daughter are great additions to the detective stage, and I hope we will have a lot more of them to come. (Judith Flanders, author of The Invention of Murder)
[An] exceptional historical mystery...page-flipping action, taut atmosphere, and multifaceted characters (Booklist)
Shockingly real...Morrell's thorough and erudite research of the people and culture of the British Empire's heyday informs every page. A literary thriller that pushes the envelope of fear (Associated Press)
Masterful...brilliantly plotted....evokes 1854 London with such finesse that you'll hear the hooves clattering on cobblestones (Entertainment Weekly)
Brilliant. Everything works - the horrifying depiction of the murders, the asides explaining the impact of train travel on English society, nail-biting action sequences - making this book an epitome of the intelligent page-turner. (Publishers Weekly)
David Morrell fans - and they are Legion - can look forward to celebrating Murder As a Fine Art as one of their favorite author's strongest and boldest books in years. (Dan Simmons, author of Drood)
Praise for David Morrell (.)
The finest thriller writer living today, bar none. (Steve Berry)
A master of suspense....If you're reading Morrell, you're sitting on the edge of your seat. (Michael Connelly)

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. An artist of death is stalking Victorian London, recreating earlier masterpieces of murder. Police suspicion falls on the notorious 'opium-eater' Thomas De Quincey, recently returned to the capital, who wrote in detail about the original crimes. Someone is using his essays as inspiration - and he must uncover the truth before the killer completes his work. In MURDER AS A FINE ART, London becomes a battleground between a literary star and a brilliant murderer - whose lives are linked by secrets long buried, but never forgotten. The notorious author Thomas De Quincey turns detective in a harrowing Victorian thriller from master storyteller David Morrell, which won the Macavity Award for Best Historical Mystery 2014. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781444755695
