Praise for Mark Pryor’s Previous Mysteries
“The Hugo Marston series now belongs on every espionage fan’s watch list.” —Booklist
“Stylish, suspenseful, and smart, Mark Pryor’s The Bookseller conveys the reader expertly through a puzzle of missing Nazi hunters and drug deals. Fans of Alan Furst will find much to love. As strong and welcome as a hot coffee on a chilly Paris morning. Bibliophiles, Francophiles, and mystery addicts rejoice!” —Steven Sidor, author of Pitch Dark
“Once you’ve had a bit, you can’t wait for more.” —OPRAH.com
“Devilishly clever . . . As the mishaps escalate for the conspirators, so does the suspense, culminating in a denouement worthy of the neo-noir film classic The Usual Suspects.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
“Pryor’s steady and engrossing debut combines Sherlockian puzzle solving with Eric Ambler-like spy intrigue. . . . The author winningly blends contemporary crime with historical topics.” —Library Journal, Starred Review and Debut of the Month
“It had everything I enjoy and more. Paris, books, intrigue, thrills, Paris, twisted villains, passionate romance (it IS Paris after all), sinfully delicious foods, fascinating people, a hard driving storyline.” —MysteryNet.com
“A real page-turner. This is what thriller writers always aim to produce and so often fail to get right. . . . You can’t ask for better than this.” —San Francisco Book Review
“Pryor’s skillful narrative crystallizes in the best possible way, in the novel’s last sentence. Pryor . . . can write realistically about the mind of a psychopath. Maybe that is useful for an assistant district attorney. It certainly is for a murder mystery writer.” —San Antonio Express-News
“Well-crafted. . . . Mark Pryor creates a new hero full of intelligence and charm which mixes well with the ever twisting plot of the story. . . . A leaf out of a classic Agatha Christie novel, mixed with the modern world of crime.” ―Portland Book Review
