| "Great characters, a complex plot, and the wonderful feeling that people still believe in Sherlock Holmes round out this debut treat." |
| "You don’t have to be a Sherlockian to enjoy Robertson’s excellent fourth Baker Street mystery (after 2013’s The Baker Street Translation). Early chapters, including one set in 1893 in which a Pinkerton agent attempts to save his own life by claiming to be Professor Moriarty, set the groundwork for the well- constructed plot that follows." |
| "Lots of Holmes references, both to the canon and to contemporary Holmes worship; lots of action; sparkling commentary; and great fun" |
| "Sherlock Holmes isn't back, but Dr. Moriarty is, sort of, in this delightful romp that offers more tension and suspense than a dozen fat thrillers with bloody knives on the cover. It still manages to be funny, rather in the Kingsley Amis manner. . . . The last third of the novel, with its murder-and-chase scene, is one of the finest, scariest sequences in current crime fiction. . . . For anglophiles, crime-o-philes, and all fans of wonderful writing." -- Don Crinklaw |
"Agatha Christie fans will revel in Robertson’s fifth novel featuring London solicitor Nigel Heath (after 2014’s Moriarty Returns a Letter). . . . This is Robertson’s best work yet, a classic fair play whodunit leavened with humor. " Read the Michael Robertson interview in Publishers Weekly |
| "Robertson, who seems to command an unlimited stream of clever ideas for recycling the Holmes legend without resuscitating the great man, outdoes himself in the most effervescent of his five Baker Street cocktails to date." Best Books list of Kirkus Reviews, for THE BAKER STREET JURORS |
