Kate Riordan is a British writer and journalist who worked for the Guardian and Time Out London. She is also the author of Birdcage Walk and is already at work on her third novel. Born in London, she now lives in the Gloucestershire countryside.
"Riordan's bewitching blend of tainted aristocrats, secretive domestics, and manipulative quacks amid a crumbling English country home is atmospheric and entertaining." -- Publishers Weekly"Mrs. Jelphs has a touch of Mrs. Danvers about her, and the old driver, Ruck, is truly creepy. This is a good match with fans of...Diane Setterfield and Kate Morton." -- Booklist"A prickly story full of tension." -- Sunday Express (London)"A well executed, brooding, creepy atmosphere." -- Sunday Mirror (London)"Full of slow-burning tension." -- Essentials"Borrowing from gothic literature staples Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca and Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, Riordan creates a visceral and lively narrative that seizes the reader's attention. Readers...will applaud and welcome this addition." -- Library Journal (starred review)"A sweeping saga of secrets and ghosts." -- Good Housekeeping, UK
