Filled with the authentic sights and sounds of eighteenth-century London, and with a supremely colorful and varied cast of characters, Watery Grave is in every way a delight to read.
“Fielding’s detection . . . is first-rate. And the period ambiance is both original and persuasive.” (The Boston Globe)
