Sleepwalkers, psychics, and the spirits of the dead (or are they?) make for a heady stew in Lisa Tuttle's The Somnambulist and the Psychic Thief, the first full-length novel about Jasper Jesperson and Miss Lane, a dauntless duo of Victorian detectives first introduced in her stories for Down These Strange Streets and Rogues. They're an entertaining pair, and it's great to see them back in action in a longer work. Here's hoping this is only the first in a long series of Lane and Jesperson adventures. Tuttle does a lovely job of putting us back in the foggy streets of Victorian London in this lively, entertaining blend of murder mystery and supernatural adventure. Arthur Conan Doyle would have approved.
GEORGE R.R. MARTIN, author of The Game of Thrones on The Somnambulist and the Psychic Thief
The whole book is delightful to read. Tuttle handles the nuances of the Victorian environment with skilful impeccability
BRITISH FANTASY SOCIETY ON The Witch at Wayside Cross
A regular, yet interesting 'whodunnit' with lots of culprits as the story twists along, at a good pace, never slowing down and yet always giving you just enough to go on
FLICKERING MYTH on The Witch at Wayside Cross
Lisa Tuttle has quietly been writing remarkable, chilling short stories and powerful, haunting novels for many years now, and doing it so easily and so well that one almost takes it, and her, for granted. This would be as big a mistake as not reading Lisa Tuttle
