Reviews
Much recommended for a frolicsome read Country Life Magazine
The magnificent Morley is very good company, and Sansom has a lovely way with a mind-bending puzzle superbly entertaining The Times
Praise for The Norfolk Mystery:
A delightful, idiosyncratic mystery Professor Morley promises to become a little gem of English crime writing; sample him now Daily Mail
