"[An] absorbing whodunit that succeeds both as a mystery and as a fascinating portrait of a traditional society in ferment." —Publishers Weekly (*starred review) The Empty Mirror
The highly praised first volume of the Viennese Mystery series is now available in paperback. Fin de siècle Vienna comes to vibrant life in this colorful historical thriller featuring the artist Gustav Klimt. "...Jones delivers a meaty historical that bodes well for further adventures.." "This one bears watching."
"Jones keeps his mystery moving along with a good deal of skill, but the greatest interest of the novel lies in its glimpses of the political passions and bizarre occurrences of the era.... In recent years, fin-de-siecle Vienna has shown signs of becoming to literary thrillers what 1940s Los Angeles is to noir. The Empty Mirror, a colorful story that neatly combines fact and fiction, suggests why."
"Jones ... deftly melds fact with fiction in a novel that will appeal to mystery aficionados as well as history buffs"
