MEDIA REVIEWS
While the stakes have risen with each book, Shaw stays true to tone and characterization, maintaining the wit and sophisticated writing of the previous books and advancing Greta's character as a strong woman and caring medical professional - BOOKLIST on GRAVE IMPORTANCE
Shaw's delightful third novel featuring Dr Greta Helsing . . . The creative worldbuilding around magically enhanced mummy medicine and mystical Egyptology hits just the right note, and her bold story engages the powers of Heaven, Hell and everything in between while maintaining a character-centered, intimate approach that keeps the reader deeply involved. Readers will hope they haven't seen the last of Greta and her crew - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY on GRAVE IMPORTANCE
A rollicking adventure with real substance, rooted enough in the traditions of the genre to have real weight, while also firmly located in the modern world. Combine this with sharp writing and great characters and - since this is described as the first Greta Helsing novel - you have what promises to be a great series - BLUE BOOK BALLOON on STRANGE PRACTICE
Vivian Shaw has written an astoundingly accomplished debut novel . . . a compelling, well-characterised novel with tight pacing and a great sense of humour. You should run, not walk, to get your copy now. (Seriously. I'm not joking. It's so good.) - Liz Bourke, on STRANGE PRACTICE
I loved every page of it . . . a spectacularly fun book - POWDER AND PAGE on DREADFUL COMPANY
The book's mix of humor, mystery, urban fantasy, and gothic horror ultimately struck all the right chords with me . . . I'm already looking forward to the next one - BIBLIOSANCTUM on STRANGE PRACTICE
I loved revisiting Greta's world! - BLUE BOOK BALLOON on DREADFUL COMPANY
