Praise for The Vault
“Exquisitely intricate.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“One of the delights of contemporary crime fiction.”
—The Wall Street Journal
“The story crackles with wit and urbanity, snappy dialogue and deeper, fouler doings . . . A stunning tale of the macabre and the mundane.”
—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
“Everything the cerebral puzzle addict craves, from tempting red herrings to literary arcana to deliciously plotted surprises.”
—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
“Diamond hunts for a missing professor on the trail of Mary Shelley’s diary. Lovesey interweaves the two stories with effortless skill.”
—The Times
“It looks deceptively easy, but this is an author who excels at his craft and keeps coming up with books that entertain and puzzle.”
—Sunday Telegraph
