«Gripping and evocative. An utterly compelling story»
Stuart MacBride
«An irresistible page turner – I loved it»
Barbara Erskine
«Jane Johnson writes the sort of books you want to tell everyone about – they hook you from the first page and sweep you along with passion, history and romance. I'm addicted»
Katie Fforde
«Full of intrigue, deceit, skulduggery and murder. It has romance in it, but also heartbreak and personal tragedy. It's deeply evocative of North Africa – the sights, the smells, the culture, but there are also great depictions of London at the time, and the court of Charles II. I really enjoyed it»
