"An engrossing portrait of a legendary period as well as a brain
teaser of startling perplexity . . . In Tallis's sure hands, the
story evolves with grace and excitement. . . . A perfect
combination of the hysterical past and the cooler-but probably more
dangerous-present" --Chicago Tribune "[An] elegant historical
mystery . . . stylishly presented and intelligently resolved." --
The New York Times Book Review "[A Death in Vienna is] a winner for
its smart and flavorsome fin-de-sièegrave;cle portrait of the seat
of the Austro-Hungarian empire, and for introducing Max Liebermann,
a young physician who is feverish with the possibilities of the new
science of psychoanalysis." -- The Washington Post "Frank Tallis
knows what he's writing about in this excellent mystery. . . . His
writing and feel for the period are top class." -- The Times
(London)
