Why read it?
1 author picked Vienna Waltz as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Early on, what the then-publisher sought, and what the characters preferred apparently diverged, because a few of the titles have an “alternate universe” relationship with the main mystery world.
That didn’t bother me one bit, when the characters and the historical aspects of Napoleonic Britain are so well drawn.

Including novellas…
From Grace's list on mysteries with gorgeous prose and delightful sleuths.
