Inspectors Frey and McGray return in this Jonathan Creek-style mystery set in Victorian Scotland.
Oscar de Muriel was born in Mexico City and moved to the UK to complete his PhD. He is a chemist, translator and violinist who now lives and works in Manchester. The Loch of the Dead is his fourth novel, following A Mask of Shadows, A Fever of the Blood and The Strings of Murder.
Oscar de Muriel gets better and better
*Sunday Express S Magazine*
I am addicted to Frey and McGray
*Christopher Fowler, author of the Bryant and May series*
I enjoyed this - properly creepy and Gothic
*Ian Rankin*
A hugely entertaining Victorian mystery
*The New York Times*
Fun to read and a fast page-turner . . . love and murder - they go
together like strawberries and cream
*Independent*
This entertaining novel combines melodrama with the unhappiness of
life backstage
*Sunday Express*
This is wonderful. A brilliant, moving, clever, lyrical book - I
loved it. Oscar de Muriel is going to be a name to watch.
*Manda Scott*
The Strings of Murder is one of the best debuts so far this year -
a brilliant mix of horror, history, and humour. Genuinely riveting
with plenty of twists, this will keep you turning the pages. It's
clever, occasionally frightening and superbly written - The Strings
Of Murder is everything you need in a mystery thriller.
