A Nice Little Victorian Mystery, Feb 4 2002
By S. Schwartz "romonko" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Abracadaver (Hardcover)
I love the characters in Lovesey's books! Thackery is a gem. You can just see him walking along in his bowler hat and black suit. This book goes into the life in the music halls that were popular in the Victorian era. Lovesey has a great sense of period, and that's what makes his books so entertaining. I am really enjoying this series. The mystery in this particular books isn't quite as good as the previous two in the series, but there is certainly enough to maintain your interest if you're a Victorian Mystery buff like me.

Great Victorian-era Mystery, Mar 21 2010
By John O. Raab "Editor of Suspense Magazine" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Abracadaver: A Sergeant Cribb Investigation (Paperback)
It's the late 19th century in London as the events of "Abracadaver" begin to unfold. We open on two sisters' argument over who's to blame for a trapeze act gone wrong, only to find their act had been sabotaged through no fault of either sister. It is soon discovered that this is not the only act of the old music halls that has succumbed to sabotage, there seems to be a dark practical joker on the loose, and his theatrics seem to know no bounds. After one of the joker's antics proves fatal, Sergeant Cribb and Constable Thackeray of Scotland Yard are called in to catch the now murderous and always elusive villain.Through excellent descriptions and detail, this fast paced, fun, and intriguing novel takes the reader straight back to London's streets and music halls of the late 1800's. Follow Sergeant Cribb and Constable Thackeray as they attempt to solve another great Victorian-era mystery.
