A deliciously eerie affair... A story of obsession, jealousy, mysterious deaths and theatrically supernatural goings-on as very strange truths are tantalisingly revealed
A fabulous foray into a shadowy Victorian world
An obvious comparison is with early Sarah Waters. The glee with which Fox approaches her material is infectious. All Victorian life is here. Intriguing
Dark, haunting, compelling... equal to DuMaurier's novels - this book held me in its grip. Loved it.
A wonderfully creepy tale. Leda is a triumph
Shades of Sunset Boulevard in this atmospheric chiller
I loved this book and recommend it to anyone looking for a delightfully immersive and imaginative spell in the past
Darkly sparkling. Very much enjoyed my days in Leda's twilight world. Doubt I'll sleep all that well tonight...
Fox's vivid, sensual prose is - fittingly - as seductive as a siren's song, drawing you into a shadowy Victorian world of obsession and guilt... An intoxicating follow-up to 2011's acclaimed The Somnambulist. Recommended to fans of Sarah Waters
Macabre, transporting, thick with atmosphere and allusion
Fox's tale of obsessive love is memorable and unusual
Leda Grey's world is utterly beguiling
A richly textured, highly coloured and entirely pleasurable read
A richly evocative story, brimming with intrigue and suspense
