About this title

Review

'Southey creates a feeling of time and place that is vivid and realistic without being overwhelmingly detailed. She draws us into the story's setting but doesn't hit us over the head with it. A fine period mystery.' David Pitt. 'Southey impeccably evokes the period, and the latest twist in Charles's unlikely romance will leave readers eager for the next installment.' Publishers Weekly.
