Compelling storytelling… peppered with social history. A page-turner, with a cast of characters, good and bad, who will remain with you long after you close the book.”
M. Colyer

An absorbing historical crime novel… Naomi Clifford has done a fabulous job of bringing to life the central character, troubled, lonely, complicated Marguerite, and her settings – London and Paris of 1872 – are especially vivid.
Cass Green, author of In a Cottage in a Wood 

Gripping from the first page, beautifully written… Naomi Clifford has given this one woman, who led a life both obscure and notorious, a voice. It was a pleasure to be introduced to the dark and turbulent world she inhabited.
Helena Wright

There’s a distinct brilliance to Naomi Clifford’s ability to take a historical setting and fill it with tension, flawed characters, and the kind of dread that keeps you turning pages late into the night.”
Amazon review

The epoch is exquisitely woven in every sentence… This is so well-written I’m sure it will win prizes. Marguerite will live on for sure.”
Perdita – Amazon

I could almost hear horse hooves in the descriptions of every day life in Park Lane. The short chapter format and the way the in-depth research is woven so lightly into the story… without the story ever sounding like a history lesson, are all masterful.”
