A fascinating mix of archaeology, forensics and local folklore (
New Woman)
...an utterly beguiling mix of village mystery, Gothic suspense, and psychological thriller. ...Hart breathes life into local history the way Graham Swift did in Waterland; reinvents the Du Maurier formula for Gothic suspense; and brings new texture and psychological acuity to the usual suspects from the generic viallage mystery. In every way, this is a debut to remember. (
