The Oscar Wilde Murder Mysteries

review 1: A gorgeous read, just as the rest of the Oscar Wilde murder mysteries I've had the pleasure of reading to date. Absolutely perfect in regard to my personal interests and eye for detail, with beautiful style to the writing. I cannot praise Brandreth enough for his work on the series, a truly remarkable find for anyone interested in the glorious cast of famous faces featured in it and gripping Victorian detective stories.
review 2: I have found that I really enjoy historical/biographical fiction in a mystery setting. This book excelled in just that area. The reader can tell the author, Gyles Brandreth went deeply into the lives of his main characters, in this case, Oscar Wilde and his personal friends.I was fortunate enough to get my hands upon a copy published... more by John Murray. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was published by John Murray and also is a main friend of Oscar's.So, we have Oscar Wilde, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Oscar's wife and children, and more as the characters put in a scenario where they must solve a multiple murder case.The book is cleverly written as a personal diary of Robert Sherard. It gives the feeling of Watson and Holmes as an insider's view. Mr. Sherard takes us day by day through the events leading up to the first murder and on through the conclusion. We are taken to the world on Oscar Wilde's London in 1892. There are maps, tours of actual sites and history of actual events that took place. These color the dialog and shape the story within.This was a great book and fine mystery. I am left intrigued by this series and will be sure to read the other books. less
