Dalla quarta di copertina:

Praise for Gillian Linscott's Nell Bray Mysteries

"Nell Bray novels always charm with their easy mix of politics and passion."
- The Poisoned Pen

"Superb. . . . Linscott has combined a wonderful cast of characters with a clever, unexpected resolution."
- Publishers Weekly on Dead Man Riding (starred review)

"Linscott captures the tenor of the times . . . and presents a complex puzzle with an original solution. Well done."
- Kirkus Reviews on Dead Man Riding (starred review)

"Linscott depicts human nature in all its variations and truths. . . . She also ensnares her readers in a story that propels them through the book so rapidly that any history absorbed is merely incidental to the intriguing mystery."
- Mystery News on The Perfect Daughter

"Get some social history and a ripping good mystery at the same time."
- The Washington Times on The Perfect Daughter
