Review Quotes: Review Quotes: "Robert J. Harris's lively Sherlock Holmes pastiche transports readers to a blacked-out London during World War II. A Study in Crimson achieves a similar mix of action-adventure, detective savvy and Holmesian surprise."-- Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal Review Quotes: "Besides providing the duo with a worthy challenge, Harris makes his Watson an intelligent and competent sidekick. Both the strong characterization and plot bode well for a sequel."-- " Publishers Weekly (starred)" Review Quotes: "Harris successfully captures Holmes' brilliance, talent, and arrogance, as well as Watson's dogged devotion to Holmes and the atmosphere in London during the dark days of war. The case he has imagined for Holmes to solve is both thoroughly challenging and pleasingly multilayered. A satisfying read."-- " Booklist" Review Quotes: " A Study in Crimson does right by its venerated source material while putting a new spin on Conan Doyle's characters by rejiggering their historical context. Harris's mystery is up to snuff."-- " Shelf Awareness" Review Quotes: "Fans of Sherlock Holmes will welcome this latest addition to the great detective's myth."-- " Historical Novel Society" Review Quotes: "With witty yet perceptive dialogue, Harris captures Hollywood's brassy soul and Hitchcock's magnetic mastery. This slam-dunk novel is sure to make Harris, alongside Hitchcock, a household name for mystery fans of all ages." -- Library Journal (starred review) Review Quotes: "A charming Hollywood mystery. Harris brings 1950s Tinseltown to life with sparkling dialogue and Easter eggs galore, and the core mystery is gloriously unpredictable. For film buffs, this is a sure thing." -- Publishers Weekly Review Quotes: "The novel pays tribute to the films of Alfred Hitchcock. An entertaining romp through noir's most recognizable tropes from femme fatales to wise-cracking dames, as well as hard drinking, car chases, gangster goons, family secrets, and lucky escapes." -- Scotland on Sunday Review Citations:
