Compelling, fantastic mysteries at every level in Reeve's wonderfully complex novel - body and soul, husband and wife, friends and strangers. The characters jump fully formed to life and you won't want to let them go. -- V. L. Valentine, author of THE PLAGUE LETTERS Bloody and brilliant, this gripping new historical thriller by Alex Reeve drips with atmosphere -- D. V. Bishop, author of CITY OF VENGEANCE Written with deep sensitivity and a flawless eye for atmospheric detail, The Blood Flower makes Victorian Portsmouth ooze off the page. Through rough dockyards, seedy Hippodromes and faked seances, Leo Stanhope negotiates his personal and professional quest for truth with a calm naivety that hides passionate inner turmoil. Leo is a heart-rending, unforgettable protagonist! -- Carolyn Kirby, author of THE CONVICTION OF CORA BURNS Wow! What a great mystery - so well plotted and well paced -- Alex Myers
