Fresh, funny crime series for fans of Jasper Fforde and M.C. Beaton. 'Delightful and original ... A series that could well become a cult' DAILY MAIL. 125 Gower Street, 1883. All is quiet at 125 Gower Street. Sidney Grice is swotting up on the anatomical structure of human hair whilst his ward, March Middleton, sneaks upstairs for her eighth secret cigarette of the day. The house is, perhaps, too quiet. So when a beautiful young woman turns up, imploring London's formost personal detective to solve the mystery of her father's murder, Grice can barely disguise his glee. Mr Nathan Garstang was found slaughtered in his bed, with no trace of a weapon or intruder. A classic locked-room case... or is it? Praise for THE SECRETS OF GASLIGHT LANE: 'So refreshing ... These stand out in what is a heavily populated genre ... Clever and beautifully written' CRIME REVIEW. 'Atmospheric writing, quirky characters, droll wit, and macabre touches. A treat for series fans' LIBRARY JOURNAL. 'Pure amusing enjoyment' NEW BOOKS MAGAZINE. Read the whole series: THE MANGLE STREET MURDERS. THE CURSE OF THE HOUSE OF FOSKETT. EATH DESCENDS ON SATURN VILLA. THE SECRETS OF GASLIGHT LANE. DARK DAWN OVER STEEP HOUSE.

Kasasian deepens the mystery of the relationship between his decidedly non-Holmes and Watson duo in his superior whodunit set in late Victorian London. Kasasian again successfully blends the gruesome and the humorous. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Fast-paced and witty. Although the parallels are unmistakable, Grice and Middleton are refreshingly different from Holmes and Watson. --Shelf Awareness
Think Lemony Snicket meets Neil Gaiman for tea in Dracula's castle. --Booklist
