“Gray has an exceptional eye for detail, and her characterisation is superb. It is a delight to discover characters like the enigmatic Stroop and the silk merchant Castracani, and refreshing that psychological development is deemed as important as historical detail…A fantastic first novel by a prize-winning short-story writer…” (Lucinda Byatt : Historical Novels Review) “Written in elegant, intelligent prose, Gray reclaims the historical crime novel from those practitioners content to serve up bland plot and blander writing…Stroop has the makings of a great detective in the cerebral Holmesian tradition…” (Calum Macleod : Shotsmag Reviews) “Clio is that rarest of finds, a natural writer…she has an incredible flair for atmosphere, imagery, setting and description. There is a strangeness and originality about her work – halfway between historical fiction and magic realism. Reading her is like being at a sumptuous feast in a palace, just before it is stormed.” (Alan Bissett, author of “Boy Racers” and “The Incredible Adam Spark” and mentor for the Scottish Book Trust) “A new novelist with a startlingly original voice…” (Merric Davidson: The New Writer) |
