Reviews
Praise for The Vault "Exquisitely intricate." -- The New York Times Book Review "Displays Peter Lovesey's delicate balance of humor and suspense--one of the delights of contemporary crime fiction." -- Wall Street Journal "The latest Diamond offering is enticingly convoluted . . . With an intricate plot and deft characterization, it adds up to an engaging, intriguing and not too serious way of getting to grips with all kinds of badness in Bath." -- Times Literary Supplement "The story crackles with wit and urbanity, snappy dialogue and deeper, fouler doings . . . A stunning tale of the macabre and the mundane." -- Publishers Weekly , Starred Review "Everything the cerebral puzzle-addict craves, from tempting red herrings to literary arcana to deliciously plotted surprises." -- Kirkus Reviews , Starred Reviews "Diamond's big presence and dominant personality . . . makes this series." -- Portsmouth Herald From the Hardcover edition., Praise for The Vault "Exquisitely intricate." -- The New York Times Book Review "One of the delights of contemporary crime fiction." -- The Wall Street Journal "The story crackles with wit and urbanity, snappy dialogue and deeper, fouler doings . . . A stunning tale of the macabre and the mundane." -- Publishers Weekly , Starred Review "Everything the cerebral puzzle addict craves, from tempting red herrings to literary arcana to deliciously plotted surprises." -- Kirkus Reviews , Starred Review "Diamond hunts for a missing professor on the trail of Mary Shelley's diary. Lovesey interweaves the two stories with effortless skill." -- The Times "It looks deceptively easy, but this is an author who excels at his craft and keeps coming up with books that entertain and puzzle." -- Sunday Telegraph, Crime Writers' Association Diamond Dagger for Lifetime Achievement Recipient Mystery Writers of America 2018 Grandmaster Praise for The Vault "Exquisitely intricate." -- The New York Times Book Review "One of the delights of contemporary crime fiction." -- The Wall Street Journal "The story crackles with wit and urbanity, snappy dialogue and deeper, fouler doings . . .

A superb series." --Louise Penny "I'm jealous of everyone discovering Lovesey and Diamond for the first time--you have a wonderful backlist to catch up on. Me, all I can do is wait for the next book." --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 "Next to Jane Austen, Peter Lovesey is the writer the tourist board of Bath, England, extols most proudly . . . The enduring draw of the Peter Diamond books derives both from the beguiling Bath cityscape and the brusque character of Diamond himself." --NPR

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

This item came in exactly as pictured, and the seller posted immediately and was very gracious. I didn't ask for a partial refund. Why would I? I bought what I was expecting and received what I paid for the item. Not sure if I have bought from this seller before, but they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My future transactions with them will no doubt be perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
