Trade Review
Merrily has become an ever more engaging protagonist, a passionate, flawed modern women every bit as concerned with the intricacies of crime as she is with demons that go bump in the night. -- Geoffrey Wansell * Daily Mail *
. . . the dark no man's land where murder mingles with superstition, genetics and the twisted conditioning of unhappy families. Complex, absorbing, fascinating . . . * Andrew Taylor *
I absolutely loved this. For me it is the first modern book that I've found as satisfying as a Victorian novel. The layers, the characters, the humour, the spookiness - perfect. * Elly Griffiths *
