'A fast-moving tale of the 1500's which I thoroughly enjoyed. The description of Carey's fight against his claustrophobia is great and his fear is quite palpable ... A great read' Promoting Crime Fiction by Lizzie Hayes

'Chisholm displays a masterful hand in drawing several plot lines from the previous novels to a resoundingly satisfying conclusion, and in setting a terrific hook on the last page.

'Fast moving and packed with little-known, but fascinating, historical detail ... Chisholm displays a masterful hand in drawing several plotlines from her previous novels to a resoundingly satisfying conclusion in a final chilling chase. This new addition to a top-notch series is one of her best – culminating with the setting of a terrific hook on the last page!' Crime Review
