Description
A mysterious keepsake, a murdered bride, a legacy of secrets...
One balmy June evening in 1881, Phoebe Stanbury stands before the guests at her engagement party: this is her moment, when she will join the renowned Raycraft family and ascend to polite society.
As she takes her fiancé's hand, a stranger holding a knife steps forward and ends the poor girl's life. Amid the chaos, he turns to her aristocratic groom and mouths: 'I promised I would save you.'
The following morning, just a few miles away, timid young legal clerk William Lamb meets a reclusive client. He finds the old man terrified and in desperate need of aid: William must keep safe a small casket of yellowing papers, and deliver an enigmatic message: The Finder knows.
With its labyrinth of unfolding secrets, Claire Evans' riveting debut will be adored by fans of Kate Mosse, Carlos Ruiz Zafon and Jessie Burton.

Wow. A vivid telling of Victorian London coupled with murder, intrigue, secret messages and police investigations. A cast of anti-heroes and a likeable buffoon is interwoven with villains and aristocracy. Who are all these people and why are they intertwined... a dose of fantasy/magic/secrets brings them all together in a fast-paced historical novel with a difference. Recommended - a good read although quite long (so took its time to start coming together).
4* from me.
