Recensione:

Praise for Murder on the Leviathan

“With a cast of eccentrics [and] a plot bristling with surprises . . . this is a novel that does Christie, Collins, and Conan Doyle proud.”
–The Washington Post Book World

“[Akunin] writes at a breakneck pace. . . . Murder on the Leviathan harks back gratifyingly to the cerebral nature of this genre.”
–The New York Times

“A splendidly atmospheric story . . . as stylish as it is suspenseful.”
–People

“Intricate and marvelous . . . addictively dazzling . . . Akunin’s agile leaps of time, tone, and narrative style are matched by a frisky erudition: The book itself is a luxury literary cruise.”
–Entertainment Weekly

“Fiendishly witty . . . [Akunin] knows his Arthur Conan Doyle, and his Fandorin likes to indulge in showy displays of Holmesian observations.”
–Time

“A crafty puzzle in a sophisticated setting.”
–The New York Times Book Review
