Editorial Reviews

School Library Connection

Audrey is a young woman eager to use her brains and willing to flaunt society's rules....This mystery pays homage to classics like Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein [and] will satisfy those readers looking for historical mystery, a witty heroine, and a little romance.

Kirkus Reviews

An intoxicating, tightly plotted feast for the senses with a dramatic cliffhanger.

Publishers Weekly

Lyrical writing and an immersive atmosphere accompany a well-built world rooted in nineteenth-century Palermo…while intriguing plot twists round off the novel.”

Knoxville News Sentinel

Kerri Maniscalco once again combines adventure, romance, murder and Victorian manners into an intoxicating cocktail that brings the story of this tenacious young forensic scientist to a satisfying conclusion.

Booklist

The characters are richly drawn; the worldbuilding is smart, based on historical events and infused with magic; and the page-turning plot is a force to be reckoned with. Food, family, magic, and romance are threaded into this propulsive story, making it a thrilling, wondrous, and atmospheric tale.

Publisher's Weekly

Maniscalco has created a serious, sharp-minded, and forward-thinking protagonist in Audrey Rose, whose fearlessness will endear her to readers looking for an engaging historical thriller. Abundant red herrings and a dash of romance round out this gruesome but engrossing story.

From the Publisher
