Praise for Sam Siciliano’s Sherlock Holmes novel The Angel of the Opera: “The tone is Homesian to the last detail, with the reader swept along to a satisfying ending. A fine addition to the Holmes canon.” - Library Journal“Siciliano’s tale… is wonderfully atmospheric and moves briskly.” - Publishers Weekly“The [familiar] tale seems fresher and deeper, thanks both to the invigorating presence of Holmes and Vernier and to the wealth of marvelous detail, especially on the Paris Opera House itself.” - Booklist
