Review"Garrett's writing style is as elegant and charming as his setting and his mastery of atmosphere is admirable ... [Darcy's adventures] deftly combine elements of mystery, espionage, suspense, Tolkienesque fantasy, science fiction, the techno-thriller, CSI-style forensic mystery, and swashbuckling historical romance."
