Critic Reviews

A fast-paced, suspenseful story flitting between the present day and World War Two . . . Brilliant escapism
A sweeping, engrossing work. Riley is talented, delighting in the small details of aristocratic luxury and the pastoral countryside . . . A tale of family secrets, war time espionage, and loyalties gained and gambled
