About The Author

Melissa Bailey read English at Oxford, before studying law in London and then pursuing a career in Media Law. The Medici Mirror is her first novel. She lives in London with her partner, a human rights lawyer.

A wonderful piece of storytelling… with fantastic characters and a thrilling denouement. I highly recommend this to fans of the ghostly, the historical and the time-slip.

Other text

This is a brilliant novel and an impressive debut. I really look forward to reading Melissa Bailey's next book and would rate this as a five star read.
