Critics Review
“A clever, intriguing and very well-written novel about the moral landscape of late-Victorian London.” – The Times

Lipscomb is an eloquent tour-guide, and each of her 50 destinations allows her deftly to unfold a different chapter of Tudor history … As a pocket-guide to the dynasty of brutes, this is as good as it gets * Spectator *
