Critics Review
“Swindells’ historical thriller is not just a mystery but a slice-of-life ‘after the war’ drama as well.”
It’s beautifully-written, short and to the point, with sparkling, pithy dialogue and a tense plot … Although this story engages with serious and frightening themes, it’s also incredibly uplifting – Jill Murphy * The Bookbag *
The magic has not dimmed! * Carousel *
