Praise for Waxwork
Winner of the CWA Silver Dagger for Best Crime Novel
“At once charming, chilling and convincing as if it had unfolded in
the Police Intelligence column of April, 1888.”
—TIME
“Peter Lovesey triumphs again.”
—Sunday Express
“Marvelously authentic.”
—The Washington Post
“As good a crime entertainment as you could wish for.”
—The Times
“I couldn’t put it down. I read it at a sitting—or rather, a lying,
for I was in the garden at the time and got so absorbed I didn’t
notice the sun had burnt the skin off my back! Waxwork is quite the
best novel of detection I have read for a long time.”
—Ruth Rendell

“I have long loved Peter Lovesey’s books . . . A creative,
courageous and gifted writer.”
—Louise Penny
“Lovesey is a master of the crime novel.”
—Sara Paretsky
“What'll it be today? A knotty puzzle mystery? A fast-paced police
procedural? Something more high-toned, with a bit of wit? With the
British author Peter Lovesey, there's no need to make those
agonizing decisions, because his books have it all.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“Mr. Lovesey's narrative is swift, but he takes time out for local
color and abundant humor, the latter springing from the book's
quirky characters . . . Lovesey is a wizard at mixing
character-driven comedy with realistic-to-grim suspense. And in a
writing career spanning four decades, he has created a stylish and
varied body of work.”
—The Wall Street Journal
“A treat . . . Lovesey’s restraint, wit, and charming cast ensure
him a place in the winner’s circle.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“Extremely stylish, lighter than air . . . utterly surprising.”
—Newsweek
