Reviews:
New York Times Book Review, by Marilyn Stasio: “deeply researched and densely atmospheric…”
Kirkus Review: “Readers will remain hooked on this compelling story and will eagerly await Dawson’s next book.”
Publisher’s Weekly: “a grim, Dickensian portrait of postwar London: broke, grimy, dejected, deranged around the edges, and gasping for breath.”
Associated Press (via The Washington Post): “Dawson deftly weaves the tales together in an engrossing narrative..”
Minneapolis Star Tribune: “‘Death in the Air’ is an enlightening look at two lesser known but important events in British history.”
Dallas Morning News: “Thanks to Dawson, readers may never see fog as quite so benign again.”
Wall Street Journal: “an assiduous researcher…her portraits of the ordinary people confronted by the depredations of the fog and Christie are moving.”
