Review
‘Appearances deceive and secrets are deadly in this creepy murder mystery. Perfect for those darker nights!’(Debbie McQuoid, Look )
’Up there with the work of Angela Carter and Sarah Waters... a gripping and accomplished Victorian murder mystery. A wildly inventive romp through the lowlife of 19th-century England. Extremely hard to put down.’(The Times )
’Smacks of period authenticity... written in a literary style that is of a far greater quality than the genre normally attracts... a compelling plot. Walking in Pimlico is an excellent debut novel.’(The British Theatre Guide Newsletter! )
