Sunday Times
The Erast Fandorin detective novels are always <b>meaty</b>, <b>packed with historical detail</b>, <b>old-fashioned in the best sense</b> and intricately plotted.
Daily Mail
<b>A popular hero to equal Sherlock Holmes and James Bond</b> . . . Akunin's finest creation and the star of his titles is Erast Fandorin - genius, gentleman, polyglot, kickboxer, and all-round inordinately lucky bloke.
The Times
The most <b>playful, ingenious</b> historical thriller series in modern publishing.
Guardian
So, farewell then, Erast Petrovich Fandorin, Boris Akunin's vain, stammering, Quizotic sleuth, perhaps <b>the most widely loved fictional detective of our time</b> . . . As always, Andrew Bromfield does a heroic job . . . there are some surprisingly effective assaults on the emtions as Fandorin's story zigzags to its close
