Praise for Eleanor Updale’s Montmorency

((star)) STARRED REVIEW
In true Shakespearean form, [Montmorency and Scarper] dive in and out of scenes with astute deftness, duping less fortunate (and sometimes deserving) characters with hilarious aplomb . Readers will find themselves drawn not only to Montmorency’s compellingly bizarre biography, but also to his clever and mischievous nature .”

((star)) STARRED REVIEW
Praise for Montmorency on the Rocks
[Montmorency on the Rocks] delivers plenty of mystery and intrigue through a compellingly flawed character, an adult searching as desperately for a sense of self as any adolescent protagonist. That search creates a literary journey filled with unpredictable events, a fast-moving plot, and a fascinating visit to the Victorian era.”

Praise for Montmorency and the Assassins
Updale’s antihero may have aged , but the author keeps the series vital by grafting on two engaging younger characters and judiciously-and craftily-pruning two older ones , thereby sending one survivor into the next entry with a burden of guilt and imbuing the entire cast with a raging desire for revenge. Bring on the sequel, and hurry. Bulleti
