The Victor Constant Investigations
‘Cheryl Sawyer weaves an excellent story and creates fabulous characters that stay with you long after you finish the book. Victor becomes something of a Richard Sharpe character, one you feel is infallible and is going to emerge victorious because he is just so good at what he does.’

Historical Novel Society Editors' Choice

‘Here is an invitation no lover of historical mysteries will be able to resist: eighteenth-century France at the Château de Cirey in the company of Voltaire, who discovers a murdered body. Marvellous tensions between the great free-thinker and Victor Constant, the book’s hero. The story dazzles and beguiles and the setting is pitch-perfect.’
Peter Lovesey

‘Sawyer has created a winning character in the obstinate Constant, in what is the first book in a proposed series … A headstrong but street-smart detective.’
Kirkus Reviews
