PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Cora Harrison turned to writing historical fiction after she retired from teaching to live on a farm near the Burren in the west of Ireland. As well as the Gaslight mysteries, she is the author of the Reverend Mother mysteries, and the 'Mara' series of Celtic mysteries, set in 16th century Ireland.
An entertaining new entry in Harrison's enjoyable series starring fictional recreations of the two famous authors, with subtle humor, period ambience, skulduggery, larger-than-life characters, a clever plot, and a satisfying ending * <b>Booklist</b> * An inspired premise and compelling characters make the third in this series the best to date * <b>Kirkus Reviews</b> * Another strong entry in a series tailor-made for the Masterpiece crowd * <b>Booklist</b> on <b>Winter of Despair</b> * Superior plotting and characterization ... Fans of Harrison's Burren mysteries will be pleased * <b>Publishers Weekly</b> on <b>Winter of Despair</b> * A surprising conclusion, coupled with vivid characters, authentic period details, and a constantly zigzagging plot, makes this a good choice for fans of historical murder mysteries * <b>Booklist</b> on <b>Season of Darkness</b> * The Victorian atmosphere is thick enough to cut with a knife. The real triumph is Harrison's Dickens: sublimely conceited, short-tempered, self-dramatizing, often bombastic * <b>Kirkus Reviews</b> on <b>Season of Darkness</b> *
