The Angel's Mark by S W Perry
A fantastic, high class debut murder mystery set in Elizabethan London, for fans of CJ Sansom, Rory Clements and SG MacLean.
A gorgeous book - rich, intelligent and dark in equal measureIt immerses you in the late 16th century and leaves you wrung out with terror. This is historical fiction at its most sumptuous. * Rory Clements *
A strong and convincing debut. -- Antonia Senior * The Times *
Wonderful! Beautiful writing, and Perry's Elizabethan London is so skilfully evoked, so real that one can almost smell it. * Giles Kristian *
An engaging Elizabethan thriller. * Sunday Times *
I knew before I got to the bottom of the first page that The Angel's Mark was the real thing. In an increasingly crowded field, this one is going to stand out. * S. G. MacLean *
A remarkably assured and classy debut. Perry grabs your attention from the first paragraph and holds it throughout a fascinating journey into high and low life of Tudor London. This could, hopefully, be the start of an addictive series. * L. C. Tyler, author of the John Gray Historical Mystery series *
An impressively dramatic and gripping debut novel. Elegantly written, thoroughly researched, The Angel's Mark draws us into the murky world of Elizabethan London where life is a game of chance, and savage death a close neighbour, quick to pounce on the unsuspecting. I predict that we will be seeing much more of Nicholas Shelby, physician and reluctant spy. * Anne O'Brien, author of The Scandalous Duchess *
The Angel's Mark has the pace of a thriller... S.W. Perry is a welcome addition to the ranks of historical crime novelists. * Simon Brett, author of the Fethering Mystery series *
A tense whodunit and a fine debut. * Weekend Sport *
[A] sad, compassionate story beautifully told. * Daily Express *
Excellent. Historical fans will want to dive into this series. * Publishers Weekly, starred review *
