Hollow Crown (Lord Edward Corinth & Verity Browne) - Softcover

Praise for David Roberts:

Roberts just keeps getting better with each book in this historical series... This is first-rate fun, informed by telling period detail and an intelligent portrayal of the political issues behind the Abdication Crisis. It's highly recommended too for fans of Love in a Cold Climate and Gosford Park (Publishers Weekly)

A classic murder mystery with as complex a plot as one could hope for and a most engaging pair of amateur sleuths whom I look forward to encountering again in future novels (Charles Osborne, author of The Life and Crimes of Agatha Christie )

Roberts' use of period detail... gives the tale terrific texture. Recommend this one heartily to history-mystery devotees (Booklist)

This is a witty and meticulous recreation of the class-ridden middle England of the 1930s... a perfect example of golden-age mystery traditions with the cobwebs swept away, for the many readers who like their sleuthing elegant and their sex and violence concealed behind the curtains (Guardian)

A gripping, richly satisfying whodunit with finely observed characters, sparkling with insouciance and stinging menace (Peter James)

A really well-crafted and charming mystery story (Daily Mail)
