Palliser even inserts sentences that call to mind tags from nineteenth-century authors like Nietzsche and Thoreau ('When you come to die you'll realize that you have not lived')., The Wall Street Journal The Christmas ghost was a staple of Victorian holiday fiction, and The Unburied is an elegant update of the tradition that is both modern in its concerns and wholly convincing as an artifact of another age., The New Yorker All the murders are puzzles, and Palliser constructs his plot like a maze and lures readers into it. The books ruthless consistency of style and the somewhat bleak view of humankind set it apart from the usual thriller., Entertainment Weekly As the layers of dirty deeds are unearthed, [the novel] feels like an archaeological dig -- mesmerizing, meticulous., Palo Alto Daily News There is little doubt that The Unburied confirms to all, British or American, that Palliser is one of the world's most imaginative historical novelists.
