"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)
"A sweeping saga of secrets and ghosts." - Good Housekeeping,
UK
"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)
"Riordan's bewitching blend of tainted aristocrats, secretive
domestics, and manipulative quacks amid a crumbling English country
home is atmospheric and entertaining." - Publishers Weekly
