Critics Review
MacLean has the first-rate historical novelist’s gift for making bygone political and religious squabbles seem rivetingly relevant, and communicates her passion for the period without downplaying its brutishness - Daily Telegraph (on A Game of Sorrows)
MacLean is a terrific storyteller - Big IssueCombines the ironclad plotting of Sansom with the artful recreation of Mantel - Independent (on A Game of Sorrows)The contradictions and compromises of Cromwell’s Proctectorate are rather brilliantly woven into the thrilling plot … If her next outing is as riveting as this one, she could challenge CJ Sansoms’ Shardlake for dominion of the crowded historical crime niche. - The TimesAbout The Author
