"""A piercing and poetic look at the grit beneath the glitter of America's rich and powerful in 1930, Enchanted Hill offers beautifully sculpted passages and unexpected twists. Glamour, tricks, and betrayals keep the pace galloping and the story enthralling. Captivating, from start to finish."" --Shana Abé, New York Timesbestselling author of The Second Mrs. Astor ""Set amid the opulence and corruption of a thinly disguised Hearst's San Simeon during the Golden Age of Hollywood, this compelling story takes the reader on a breathtaking ride of redemption and revenge."" --Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling author of The Venice Sketchbook ""Evocative and compelling from the first sentence, Murphy's Enchanted Hill artfully transports the reader to the storied mansion of a 1930s Hollywood magnate where the silver screen sparkle blinds guests to the seedy underbelly housed in its halls--which is just as well for Cora, who is hiding secrets of her own after growing up on an isolated prison island. Mysterious, romantic, rich with historical detail, and impeccably written, Enchanted Hill is impossible to put down, the kind of novel that made me fall in love with historical fiction!"" --Joy Callaway, international bestselling author of All the Pretty Places ""...likable characters and riveting backstory.""-Kirkus Reviews"
