Reviews
Wonderfully authentic period details, larger-than-life characters, a thought-provoking plot, and an affecting and powerful conclusion make this one of Clare's best. * Booklist Starred Review * The story keeps readers guessing and increasingly invested in the core group of finely nuanced characters... Clare reinforces her place among the top rank of historical writers. * Publishers Weekly Starred Review * Readers will enjoy treading the path as Gabriel does, joining him on the classic search: whodunit?! * Historical Novel Society *
