What people are saying about Peter David's novel Artful:
"This novel had movement from the first page and doesn't stop until the end. Coupled with the movement, is spectacular character development and scene transitions. Really superbly crafted." (Koeur's Book Reviews)
"If you are a fan of Dickens, or grew up singing the score from Oliver!, or just have a fondness for vampyres and valiant streetsmart heroes saving imperiled princesses in Victorian London, then this is the book for you." (A Bibliophile's Reverie)
"All in all, this is a darkly humorous romp through the streets of pre-Victorian London, wittily narrated—with tongue firmly in cheek—by a skilled writer who has a great deal of fun with the story." (Fang-tastic Fiction)
