A gripping, fast-paced read stuffed full of atmosphere and murder most foul
A gripping, fast-paced read stuffed full of atmosphere and murder most foul
The second novel in the Leo Stanhope series stands alone, and it’s well worth your time … A deeply atmospheric thriller with more twists and turns than the grubby streets of London, and a central character we really care about
Leo Stanhope was one of the finest literary creations of last year – a fully realised trans amateur detective in Victorian London
A gripping tale that twists like the dark back streets of Victorian London to a devastating conclusion, The Anarchist's Club and its colourful cast will not let you go. Leo Stanhope is a wonderful creation, his world atmospheric and terrifying, and his own story as powerful and enthralling as the mysteries he investigates
Another class act from Alex Reeve. Leo is a brilliant hero: clever and flawed, infuriating and at the same time someone I root for at every turn
Highly original
Reeve has not only crafted a brilliant crime novel, but has created a character who has made me see the world with new eyes. I await Leo’s – and Reeve’s – return eagerly
A masterful Gothic mystery full of unsettling twists, riveting turns and characters that would make Dickens jealous
Creating a genuinely original protagonist in historical crime fiction is difficult, but Alex Reeve has succeeded ... An intriguing murder mystery and a complex portrait of a man isolated by his awareness of who he truly is
This tense, emotional journey through late-Victorian London has an unusual and memorable young hero at its heart, carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders
Alex Reeve lives in Buckinghamshire and is a university lecturer. The Anarchists’ Club is the second in the Leo Stanhope series, following on from the Richard & Judy Book Club pick The House on Half Moon Street, which was shortlisted for the CWA Sapere Books Historical Dagger, the Polari First Book Prize and the RSL Christopher Bland Prize.
