The Infernal Riddle of Thomas Peach by Jas Treadwell
A masterful novel of necromancy, secrets, and a world on the brink of the modern age...
An extraordinary novel. . a tour de force * Andrew Taylor *
Treadwell's book is a magnificent pastiche of 18th-century fiction * The Sunday Times *
Tristram Shandy meets Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell in a novel that addresses dark disturbing themes with tremendous wit, charm and elegance * Daily Express and Daily Mirror *
Part historical pastiche, part gothic horror, this is an ambitious and stylistically bold 18th-century adventure with shades of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell * SFX *
This novel is a virtuoso performance . . . he must be heartily congratulated both for performing an extraordinary feat of literary ventriloquism and also for reminding us what historical fiction does best: create an entirely convincing vanished world while also using that world as a lens through which to view the present day * Guardian *
A clever, playful mystery * Daily Express, Books of the Year *
Entertaining, often amusing and definitely intriguing. I particularly liked the way I became totally immersed in this 18th century world - the author's attention to tone and detail is impressive * Concatenation *
