Critics Review

Monroe has a sure grasp of period detail and a remarkable gift for creating memorable characters - Mail on Sunday

Praise for the first in the Cotton series, The Maze of Cadiz:

‘A splendid debut mystery’ - The Times

Clever and fascinating - Guardian

An impressive novel with an extraordinary, dream-like atmosphere … The next can’t come too soon - Financial Times

Cotton’s investigating is clever and fascinating - Guardian

Stands out from the current glut of period thrillers. Four stars - Mail on Sunday

The deliberate anticlimax is a bold and broadly justified gesture of confidence in the power of her sense of time, place and character to charm the reader into a story told entirely on her own terms - Daily Telegraph

Plenty of room for future development - TLS
