Critics Review
An irresistible combination of psychological tension and acutely observed emotion. Beautifully written, atmospheric and utterly compelling.
An irresistible combination of psychological tension and acutely observed emotion. Beautifully written, atmospheric and utterly compelling. – Iona Grey
Vertigo meets Rebecca in a twisty Tudor time slip. Addictive, atmospheric and completely enjoyable. – Julie Cohen
A superb Gothic timeslip. It gripped me from the very first with its skillful combination of tension and atmosphere, its beautiful writing and elegantly-realised historical detail. It is absorbing and evocative, reminding me of that master storyteller Daphne Du Maurier. Fascinating, immersive and powerful. – Nicola Cornick
Powerful and thrilling read … You won’t be able to rest until the end. * Sun *
A gripping psychological thriller inside a beautifully written historical novel. A real page turner. – Donna Douglas
I really enjoyed Pamela’s novel. Proper timeslip novels are rare beasts these days and this reminded me of Barbara Erskine’s classic, Lady of Hay. A compelling, satisfying story to curl up with in front of the fire, I found myself particularly absorbed in the Tudor strand of the story, which was authentic, vivid and gripping. – Kate Riordan
Loved it. So clever and paced really well. [A] fantastic read. – Joanna Courtney
Pamela Hartshorne is an intriguing writer. Undoubtedly House of Shadows will leave you hungry for more. * Reader’s Digest *
