Critics Review
-
This is a fascinating, fast-paced, beautifully written book and well worth reading.
Promoting Crime Blog -
Fox’s clear and thorough historical research is clearly woven into every seam of this rich and imaginative novel.
THE BIG ISSUE IN THE NORTH -
The plot of this novel is intricate and beautifully turned, and echoes of Frances Hodgson Burnett and George MacDonald Fraser are entirely intentional – Fox’s raids on the story-box cleverly enhance the sense of mystery
THE TIMES -
A richly textured, highly coloured and entirely pleasurable read
METRO -
Dark secrets, hidden pasts and childhood mysteries are the focus in this sensual melodrama…an entertaining slice of Victoriana, rich in historical detail
MARIE CLAIRE -
With just as many twists and turns as Wilkie Collins aat his unpredictable best, Fox’s take on the Victorian mystery novel will transport you to a world of intrigue and superstition . . . A gem of a read
