'€œThis entertaining period mystery, set in Victorian England, is lively, lurid, amusing.'€'€”Publishers Weekly '€œThese are humorous novels and the humour is character-based . . . mixed with the absurdities of the English class-system. . . . Cribb was the first of the new-wave Victorian crime-fighters and is arguably still the best.'€'€”Sherlock Holmes Magazine The second Sergeant Cribb mystery is set in the world of Victorian bare-fisted pugilism'€”an illegal sport.
