Review
`Rachel Hore's intriguing Richard and Judy recommended read, which is layered with a series of mysteries, some more supernatural than others' --Independent

`Hore once again shows her gift for bringing the past to life: her understanding of memory, stories and craft is as strong here as in The Memory Garden' --Waterstone's Books Quarterly

`Sumptuous prose, deft plotting, lush settings, troubling personal histories, tragedy, heady romance and even a smattering of 18th century scientific wonderment mark Hore's fourth novel as her most accomplished and enthralling yet' --Daily Mirror

'Anyone who likes well written fiction will love this...I will with absolute certainty be getting myself the rest of Rachel's books, and I can't wait to get stuck into them all. Hopefully they'll all be as fantastic as A Place of Secrets' --ChickLitReviews.com

`Jude is an appealing heroine and Hore's writing draws the reader beguilingly into her world. An atmospheric, beautifully written romance, with an intriguing historical mystery woven through its pages'
--Living North
