“The current master of the locked-room mystery.”
“A brilliantly inventive and imaginative new voice on the crime circuit.”
TP Fielden
“A clever writer with a mastery of setting, plotting, and the world of the illusionist.”
“Tom Mead has quickly become one of my must-read authors.”
Gigi Pandian
“One of my favourite mystery series – each book is delightful, intricate and twisty in its own glorious way, and Tom Mead’s writing style is perfectly suited to the stories he tells. The interactions of Joseph Spector and Inspector Flint are always a pleasure to read. Combining clever mysteries with the rich atmosphere of the 1930s, these books are huge fun for all fans of Agatha Christie.”
Katie Lumsden
“The locked room mystery is enjoying a welcome revival [and] leading the way is Tom Mead whose intriguing plots challenge us to beat the author at his own game.”
