The Yard Audiobook

Quotes

• “Lusciously rich with detail, atmosphere, and history, and yet as fast paced as a locomotive, The Yard will keep you riveted from page one. It’s truly a one-or two-sitting read.” 

  — Jeffery Deaver, author of Carte Blanche and The Bone Collector

• “Alex Grecian’s The Yard is a brilliantly crafted debut novel with unforgettable characters. An utterly gripping tale perfectly evokes Victorian London and brings you right back to the depraved and traumatic days of Jack the Ripper. And I mean that in the best possible way.”

  — Lisa Lutz, author of The Spellman Files

• “Outstanding. If Charles Dickens isn’t somewhere clapping his hands for this, Wilkie Collins surely is.”

  — Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review

• “Grecian’s debut is the promising start of a new series and should be one of the most acclaimed and popular mysteries of the year. Caleb Carr’s The Alienist is the obvious comparison, thanks to The Yard’s attention to detail and mix of historical facts and vivid fictional creations.”

  — Huffington Post

• “Grecian powerfully evokes both the physical, smog-ridden atmosphere of London in 1889 and its emotional analogs of anxiety and depression. His infusion of actual history adds to this thriller’s credibility and punch. A deeply satisfying reconstruction of post-Ripper London.”

  — Booklist

• “This excellent murder mystery debut introduces a fascinating cast of characters. Grecian displays a flair for language as well as creating vivid (and occasionally gruesome) depictions of places and events.”
