It is rather complicated, but everything dovetails together very nicely at the end… Fans of David Downing or Alan Furst in particular should give this book a chance.'Crime Fiction Lover.'With his riveting plotting and engaging characters, Chisnell provides a good read.'Read All Day.'This is a well-researched historical thriller with romantic extras. The hero is a poor boy with a brain and the complex snobberies he encounters are sharply delineated. Two nicely contrasted heroines, lots of period detail and a touch of industrial strife thrown in. This is a big book, well-worth settling down to. I shall be looking out for more.'Indie e-book review.'Once the course of the book was finally set, I was hooked. Just when I thought I couldn't take it anymore this amazing, fast paced story emerged before my very eyes and I couldn't put it down… What you have is just another shining example of why Chisnell is an indie name to keep your eye on.'Kindle Obsessed.
