Set in Victorian England, in the genre of Dickens or Wilkie Collins with plots, counter plots and unexpected twists, this atmospheric, gothic thriller revolves around two orphaned girls whose lives are inexplicably tangled: Susan brought up amongst petty criminals and Maud reared first in a mad-house then in her uncle's gloomy mansion. Be prepared for constant surprises for nothing and no one is as they seem. The pages turn themselves!
