Review Quote | Rumour, court machinations and a rattling good plot |
Other text | 'Unashamedly fun and will appeal to fans of Kate Mosse and Dan Brown… full of twisting passageways, wall tapestries complete with spy holes, and all manner of skulduggery… The plot crackles along, piling up the murders and conspiracies among the culinary metaphors. A very promising new author' |
