Reviews
David Wishart's historical crime fiction is always adroitly written. This latest Marcus Corvinus mystery has all the hallmarks of Wishart's best work . . . This is delightful stuff, with all the requisite historical detail set against the sardonic humour that has long been one of Wishart's specialities. In At the Death is both one for long-time Wishart admirers and for those deciding to sample his work. * Barry Forshaw, Amazon *
Praise for A VOTE FOR MURDER:
'Drawn with great dash, and the one-liners are as good as ever. Genius.'
Praise for SEJANUS:
'Like Chandler's Marlowe, Corvinus wisecracks his way through a weary world of murder and intrigue until he hunts down the truth. A taut thriller in which ancient Rome springs to life'
Praise for THE LYDIAN BAKER:
'Innate humour and pace carry one through to the tragi-comic climax'
