" 'This is detective fiction in the grand style; the characters and the plot soar upwards and carry us in their wake. Powerscourt's debut in this intoxicating book is the start of a gilded life in the archives of crime.' James Naughtie. 'A cracking yarn, beguilingly real from start to finish... you have to pinch yourself to remind you that it is fiction - or is it?' Peter Snow. 'A kind of locked bedroom mystery... Dickinson's view of the royals is edgy and of course shaped by our times.' The Poisoned Pen. 'Fine prose, high society and complex plot recommend this series.' Library Journal"
The dead can still reveal the crimes of the living
