About this title

Review:

"A gripping novel of real originality . . . The careful setting-up, subtle delineation of character, meticulous observation of the castle itself - in some ways the story's main character - and the gradual increase in the pace and tension of this riveting narrative mark this as a novel of real skill and technique" (Carousel)

"Packed with suspense and palpable tension . . . This compelling thriller is impossible to put down" (The Bookseller)

"A brilliant book, evocatively written and full of sinister suspense" (BBC Parenting)
