River of Fallen Angels (2023)
(Victorian Mystery , book 7)
Laura Joh Rowland
"A fantastic read."

M, King's Bodyguard (2021)
Niall Leonard
"Authentic, rich, and completely absorbing, Niall Leonard’s new novel is historical but feels like its own magnificently built world, an Edwardian London as morally murky and lovingly detailed as Philip Kerr’s Berlin. We can only hope there are further Melville books to come."

The Halo Effect (2017)
Anne D Leclaire
"A mystery at once literate, intimate, and almost intolerably suspenseful - reminiscent of Louise Penny at her best."
