good read

This is a wonderful middle grade historical fiction book set in Edwardian England. The historical setting is beautifully depicted and the atmosphere of mystery and tension, with some gothic elements too, is created better than many adult fiction books manage to do.
I was particularly impressed with how intricate the plot was and how the different strands of the narrative tied together so well at the end. I would highly recommend this book to older children and adults alike as there is so much to enjoy in this.

Lovely book

The mystery at the heart of this book kept me guessing right to the end! A great cast of characters and I loved the Edwardian Cambridge setting.
