Philippa Gregory was an established historian and writer when she discovered her interest in the Tudor period and wrote the novel The Other Boleyn Girl which was made into a TV drama, and a major film. Now, six novels later, she is looking at the family that preceded the Tudors: the magnificent Plantaganets, a family of complex rivalries, loves, and hatreds. She lives with her family on a small farm in Yorkshire where she keeps horses, hens and ducks. Emilia Fox is best known for her role as Dr Nikki Alexander in BBC’s Silent Witness. She started her career in acclaimed BBC adaptations such as Pride and Prejudice and ITV's Rebecca, and has since worked across theatre, film and television. More recently, Emilie starred as the title role in the 2022 AcornTV drama, Signora Volpe. Also a frequent audiobook narrator, Emilia’s reading of Destination Unknown by Agatha Christie was a 2005 Audie Award Finalist.
'Insidiously gripping.' -- The Independent 'This brilliant psychological chiller ... is utterly, nail-nibblingly plausible. You will relish its explosive climax and be gripped through to its final, superb, double-twist finish.' -- Daily Mail
