"Wildly entertaining read that came together beautifully in the final act. I read this book in a day while on a long-haul flight and time passed so quickly. Holtom clearly has a deep passion and knowledge for the classic murder-mysteries, as well as a"

"Boasting all the tropes one has come to expect in a novel set during the Golden Age of Crime Fiction, Robert Holtom's first Selby Bigge mystery would have no doubt been banned from publication if it had been written in the year in which it is set: 19"

“War as a moral metaphor is limited, limiting, and dangerous. By reducing the choices of action to “a war against” whatever-it-is, you divide the world into Me or Us (good) and Them or It (bad) and reduce the ethical complexity and moral richness of our life to Yes/No, On/Off. This is puerile, misleading, and degrading. In stories, it evades any solution but violence and offers the reader mere infantile reassurance. All too often the heroes of such fantasies behave exactly as the villains do, acting with mindless violence, but the hero is on the “right” side and therefore will win. Right makes might.”
