A complex novel of mystery and suspense narrated by three fascinating characters...I thoroughly recommend this title
Landers Bookshop, Independent on Sunday
A juicy mystery with lashings of period detail
Daily Telegraph
Absorbing and also timely
Jessica Mann, Literary Review
An indefatigably clever storyteller...witty, laconic dialogue; a galloping pace, particularly in the first and third narratives; the author's silky, fluid prose; and above all the concluding passages, which detonate a series of surprises as poignant as they are grim
Daniel Mallory, Times Literary Supplement
Engrossing and intelligent, it's the best sort of page-turner
Amber Pearson, Daily Mail
Fireworks, inventiveness and excitement of part three and a curmudgeonly inventor of torpedoes
Philippa Stockley, Evening Standard
I cannot remember enjoying a book as much as Stone's Fall
Malcolm Gladwell, Observer
Iain Pears has an uncanny historical sense ... splendid return to the grand 19th-century novel
Jane Jakeman, Independent
Pears is in a class of his own; no one else could possibly succeed in making the world of big finance so hugely entertaining.

The assurance and invention with which the novel is written are alike remarkable. Utterly absorbing and a rare delight

David Robson, Sunday Telegraph

Waterstone's Books Quarterly
