A little bit Margery Allingham with hints of Mitford, definite tones of Eva Ibbotson and as delightful as I Capture the Castle, D is for Death is an instant classic. I loved it so much
Marian Keyes

A fun, charming mystery with a brilliant heroine you'll fall in love with!
Good Housekeeping

I am now a Dora addict … so wonderful
Natasha Poliszczuk

This isn't your average cosy crime novel. With an Agatha Christie-esque murder mystery and a perceptive, hugely likeable amateur sleuth to guide the way, this is an entertaining and nostalgic whodunnit with vivid period detail
Culturefly

A brilliant whodunnit
Woman

A charming and authentic ode to Golden Age crime fiction and to books in general. In a genre replete with world-weary cynicism, Dora Wildwood makes for an endearingly optimistic feminist sleuth
Chris Brookmyre

An absolute delight, perfect for fans of classic crime
Irish Times

A charming, beautifully crafted pastiche of the 1930s crime novels of Dorothy L. Sayers and Agatha Christie, with an Enola Holmes/Miss Marple-like heroine in Dora
Irish Independent

A glorious, stylish story of passion, poison and peril
