Sherlock Holmes – Masters of Lies

“Purser-Hallard’s unusual fair-play puzzle will remind many of the sleight-of-hand novels of Anthony Horowitz. Fans of traditional Holmes stories will hope for more from this versatile author.” Publishers Weekly Starred review 

“Complicated and entertaining” – Peter E. Blau, Sherlockians and Doyleans

Prsise for Sherlock Holmes The Spider’s Web:

Praise for the author:

“A very good locked-room puzzle” Morning Star

“One of the cleverest locked room mysteries ever tackled by Sherlock Holmes… John Dickson Carr and Anthony Boucher fans will be gratified at the logical explanation the master rationalist devises. This ranks among the top novel-length Sherlock Holmes pastiches.” Publishers Weekly

“The best kept secret in British genre writing”
the British Fantasy Society

“[Purser-Hallard’s] writing is crisp and clever… the cast of characters appealing, interesting and consistent”
