Witty, action-packed and perfect for fans of detective stories, fantasy stories and good old-fashioned adventure. Horatio Lyle is Sherlock Holmes crossed with Thomas Edison as written by Terry Pratchett. Catherine Webb published her first novel at just 14 and has quickly established herself as one of the most talented and exciting young writers in the UK and garnered comparisons with Terry Pratchett and Philip Pullman.
Her books are brilliantly plotted, time and place superbly portrayed and the characters wonderfully imagined. From Horatio Lyle, scientist, inventor and reluctant sleuth together with his faithful hound, Tate, side-kick, pickpocket Tess, a rebellious young gentleman called Thomas together they solve an almost unsolvable crime and survive a dangerous enemy. This was so good I was clamouring for more but thankfully the author has delivered with two further Horatio Lyle titles, The Obsidian dagger and most recently The Domesday Machine.
Horatio Lyle is Sherlock Holmes crossed with Thomas Edison as written by Terry Pratchett: witty, action-packed and perfect for fans of detective stories, fantasy stories and good old-fashioned adventure. In Victorian London at the height of the industrial revolution, Horatio Lyle is a former Special Constable with a passion for science and invention. He's also an occasional, but reluctant, sleuth.
