Praise for SINISTER SCENES:
“Lemony Snicket’s fans will find a lot to like in this concluding volume of the trilogy … sophisticated vocabulary, a dry sense of humor, and an amusingly deliberate Gothic tone.” — School Library Journal
“Festooned with old curses, creaky doors, sudden gusts and atmospheric extras, the off-camera doings lurch their way fetchingly to a climax.” — Kirkus Reviews
“SINISTER SCENES is the concluding title of an intriguing trilogy. . . The series features plenty of mystery and intrigue, danger, wry humour, a sophisticated vocabulary, a clever plot with plenty of twists and turns, a likeable protagonist and some memorable characters. The trail of clues scattered throughout each book will help to captivate and keep readers’ interest. Although set in modern times, the author has infused each story with a spooky Gothic tone, somewhat similar to the stories of Edgar Allan Poe.” — Stratford Gazette
