The Thomas Dordrecht Historical Mystery Series Website

 

 

Kirkus Reviews calls Exquisite Folly “a riveting mystery” and “an engaging, suspenseful novel that combines an intriguing murder mystery with heaps of historical information.” 

 

Historical Novels Review:  “Carriel moves all his plot lines forward very convincingly, helped along by a wry, understated humor and a very good ear for dialogue. The Thomas Dordrecht adventures are always worth reading, and Exquisite Folly, like all its predecessors, can easily be read as a stand-alone or starting-point for the rest.”
