A darkly delicious joy of a historical gothic novel. Mature and accomplished storytelling that's utterly compelling. I loved it -- Essie Fox, author of THE SOMNAMBULIST Absolutely pitch black brilliance. Dark, creepy and utterly compelling with characters who jump right off the page - this is gothic suspense at its very best -- SJI Holliday, author of VIOLET A delightfully dark gothic tale, beautifully written, with a beguiling narrator. The seemingly innocent Marta turns out to be more than a match for the other occupants of a house full of secrets. An excellent read! -- Guy Morpuss, author of BLACK LAKE MANOR PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR: 'Original, well and simply written and has a horrible but moving subject' -- Ruth Rendell Terrific... Victorian London has never been better illustrated * Sunday Express * Griffin's writing is fluent and evocative, bringing London's seedy underbelly to life * Historical Novel Society * Occasionally a new writer bursts onto the scene with almost explosive force... an absolutely first class read * Crime Time *
