Reviews
...uncannily well-timed...a feast of period detail. * Daily Telegraph *
Worthy of Dickens... a gripping thriller...a rich, clever, absorbing novel that is extremely hard to fault. * The Times *
"Written with verve, Sian Busby infiltrates the heart and soul of the Victorian world, which uncannily parallels our own". * Daily Telegraph *
This ingenious fact-into-fiction novel makes a fine, marvellously readable, melodramatic meal of the case that established the 'McNaughten Rules'. * Saga Magazine *
"Mcnaughten has an intricacy and sentimentality worthy of Dickens and a satirical eye as sharp as Thackeray's... A gripping thriller, rich, clever, absorbing and extremely hard to fault ...a witty look at men in power and a plot that shocks with an extraordinary twist". * The Times *
