"Fowler smoothly blends humor, deduction and social commentary in his fourth oddball whodunit ... [Ten Second Staircase} places Fowler in the first rank of contemporary mystery writers and whets the appetite for the next Bryant and May case."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

"This fourth Bryant and May novel delivers a delirious blend of black humor and suspense—recommend it to readers looking for something different in an English procedural."—Booklist, starred review
