Hana Tooke

'I was charmed and captivated from gruesome beginning to ghastly end! I think it might be her best book yet!'

‘Deliciously dark, with wit as sharp as a raven’s beak.'
STRUAN MURRAY

‘A gothic whodunnit awash with atmosphere and a thrilling plot that grips you like the talons of a crow.'
