Death in the Stocks

Praise for Georgette Heyer's mystery novels:

Death in the Stocks is that rare and refreshing thing - a clever problem stated, developed and finally solved in terms of character

The Times

'Heyer's characters and dialogue are an abiding delight to me ... I have seldom met people to whom I have taken so violent a fancy from the word "Go"'

Dorothy L. Sayers

Miss Heyer's characters act and speak with an ease that is as refreshing as it is rare in the ordinary mystery novel

Times Literary Supplement

'Rarely have we seen humour and mystery so perfectly blended'

New York Times

'Sharp, clear and witty'

The New Yorker

'The wittiest of detective writers'

Daily Mail

'We had better start ranking Heyer alongside such incomparable whodunit authors as Christie, Marsh, Tey and Allingham'

San Francisco Chronicle
