So much fun and so incredibly well done! I hope there’s another book soon because I adore these characters brought to life with such perfect narration.

Robert Bennett Jackson is a writer at the top of his craft, and this book is nothing short of spectacular. Unforgettable characters, a fascinating and unpredictable plot, and true mastery in his writing - his love of language is evident on every page. This book (and the one that preceded it) are a must read.

Read the author’s note. It’s what officially bumped this guy up into my book of all time greats.

Just an absolutely fantastic world that nails the climax even better than the first. You know a series is good when you’re chomping at the bit for the next book!

An engrossing and well crafted novel from a writer with several to his name. The prose is both clear and poetic, a tough balance to strike. A timely meditation on the stupidity of autocracy and the importance of civil servants who just want to make the world a better, more just and rational place.

If you liked The Tainted Cup, you will love A Drop of Corruption. This book was hard to put down. Truly an amazing work of art.
