"Sarah may be a 'Fallen Woman,' but she's also clever, resourceful and highly capable with a sword. She is so well realized that we accept the conceit of a female sleuth—a liberated Elizabeth Bennett, as it were—who fences, wears men's clothing and lives behind her aunt's brothel. [A] most pleasing and agreeable series."--Publishers Weekly on Petty Treason
“Madeleine Robins writes with rare conviction.”—The New York Times
“An action-packed, suspense-filled read, complete with a 19th-century heroine reminiscent of the present day Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”--Romantic Times
“Sarah is a fascinating heroine, and Robins surrounds her with equally intriguing secondary characters. Politics, deception, danger, and a bit of romance all come together beautifully in this superb debut.”—Booklist on Point of Honour
"Sarah Tolerance is smart, beautiful, resourceful, tough, and totally believable and real. Murder, prostitution, blackmail, and action are woven perfectly into this tale. I will certainly read the next episode in this series. I'd do so tomorrow if I had it." --Stuart M. Kaminsky, bestselling author of the Toby Peters and Inspector Rostnikov novels on Point of Honour
"Self-reliant, gutsy, and forthright at a time when women weren't supposed to be any of those things, Sarah Tolerance is a breath of fresh air. I loved Point of Honour." --Barbara D'Amato, author of Authorized Personnel Only on Point of Honour
"An elegant Regency romance with an edge and a point." --Sarah Smith, author of The Vanished Child on Point of Honour
