Revue de presse

A gripping, atmospheric novel, which demands reading at one sitting. (Books for Keeps)

The story is intriguing and unusual. Secrets seem to unravel as each little piece of information is assembled with another, making the puzzle whole. This is the perfect book for children as well as adults who love a story full of suspense and excitement, but also one that is based on historic facts. I truly recommend it. (Jessica, pupil)
