‘Just as bloody as The Da Vinci Code … however, much better written’
‘Just as bloody as THE DA VINCI CODE … however, much better written’ - Scotsman

She combines historical realism with the bizarre, whimsy with the macabre. Reading her is like being at a sumptuous feast in a palace, just before it is stormed’ - Alan BissettAbout The Author
