MEDIA REVIEWS
'Although this beautifully designed DIY manual is full of twists,the emphasis is on comedy...but the extraordinary Holmes can pull the heartstrings too.'- The Times
'A funny,fast-paced,flip-the-playbook mystery in which three ordinary citizens are trained in murder on a luxurious hidden estate...a fantasy academy laid out like a combination of Hogwarts,Downton Abbey,and a White Lotus-style resort....Holmes can clearly do anything.'- The Los Angeles Times
'How has no one thought of this before Murders set at an imaginary academy set up to train murderers...Holmes delights in wordplay that includes puns,literary terms,cultural references,and twists....As Holmes takes hairpin turns from irony back to sincerity for his three McMasters pupils,his zany storytelling will delight fans of The Twyford Code by Janice Hallett,all Sherlock Holmes stories,and even those who love tales of arcane and Gothic institutions.'- NPR
