What has she done?

Praise for A Dangerous Crossing

Quite extraordinary . . . Beautiful, captivating and I desperately did not want the journey to end.

Emma Kavanagh

An utter treat . . . a glorious mix of proper old-school glamour and a labyrinthine plot full of class war, politics and sexual tension . . . A masterful storyteller.

Veronica Henry

A sumptuous and thrilling read which reminded me of Daphne du Maurier. It captivates you in its spell right until the end. I loved it.

Kate Hamer, author of The Girl in the Red Coat

This a proper old-fashioned tale of thwarted romance, impossible glamour, murder and mayhem on the high seas . . . The pages turn themselves.

Liz Nugent

Think Patricia Highsmith on the high seas.
