Critics Review
-
Fans of Masterton's unflinching Katie Maguire det-fic [...] may wish to venture into the past with the author, where his craft as a bestselling horror writer is given freer rein
The Sunday Times Crime Club
-
[Scarlet Widow and The Coven] are amazing mystery thrillers that will have you hooked from page 1
Love Books Group
-
Highlights the conflict between superstition and science which underpinned just about everything three hundred years ago - and also tells a graphic, fast-moving tale with a large element of horror threaded through the battle between good and evil. Beatrice Scarlet is a heroine of her own time who could teach a lesson or two to women of ours
