Riassunto

Engaged as tutor to the children of wealthy and ambitious merchant, Samuel Appleton, Robert Fairfax soon finds that his employer has other work of a more delicate nature for him to do. Appleton's beautiful daughter, Charlotte, has made a very good marriage to the rakish and aristocratic Lord Mortlock - yet all is not well with the match previously backed so keenly by Appleton. Urged to investigate discreetly, Fairfax finds evidence of gambling debts, love affairs - and intrigue. When Lord Mortlock is found murdered in his bed, Fairfax urgently needs to find the answers to all his questions and unmask an evil killer...

Recensione:

'There are several suspects, which gives March the opportunity to show different levels of society and, through her excellent dialogue, she is particularly successful in displaying the attitudes and mores of the period' Sunday Telegraph

THE DEVIL'S HIGHWAY:
'Exuberant' The Times

'THE COMPLAINT OF THE DOVE has more than a charismatic protagonist. March has created a felicitously realised Georgian mystery, and setting a detective novel in the age of Moll Flanders is a masterstroke... THE DEVIL'S HIGHWAY is equally as exuberant' The Times
'A clever and accomplished first novel...witty and convincing; for fans of period dramas such as Moll Flanders and Tom Jones, this will slip down like a cup of sherbet.' Scotland on Sunday;
'A gloriously rich tale of London at its grandest and seamiest, well told, at a cracking pace.' Newcastle upon Tyne Evening Chronicle;
'Written well with a great deal of self-assurance. I liked the period detail and the characterisation of the large cast of suspects' Deryn Lake, Shots
