==Reception== The first Cinebook volume was reviewed by who complimented the structure and writing ("These stories get straight to the point and keep you there"), said that "[t]he art is gorgeous," before concluding that "[t]he book might be nearly $14, but the art and the storytelling density make for a better value than what that number looks like on the page."<ref>{{cite web |first=Augie |last=De Blieck Jr. |url=http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=20078 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090220154125/http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=20078 |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 20, 2009 |title=Green Manor: Victorian England Murder Mysteries |work=Pipeline |publisher=Comic Book Resources |date=February 17, 2009 |accessdate= }}</ref>
