About this title

Review:

An elegantly structured and cleverly conceived page-turner with a thoroughly enjoyable added bonus of colourful and authentic period detail. (BOOKS MAGAZINE)

Linscott is unquestionably one of Britain's best historical crime writers, and this book shows her in fine form. (CRIME TIME)
