About this listen

In deepest winter, beware the coldest hearts . . .

London, 1850. Constance Horton has disappeared.

Maude, her older sister, knows only that Constance abandoned the apothecary they call home, and, disguised as a boy, boarded a ship bound for the Arctic. She never returned. ‘A tragic accident’, the Admiralty called it. But Maude Horton knows something isn’t right.

When she finds Constance’s journal, it becomes clear that the truth is being buried by sinister forces. To find answers – and deliver justice for her sister – Maude must step into London’s dark underbelly, and into the path of dangerous, powerful men. The kind of men who seek their fortune in the city’s horrors, from the hangings at Newgate to the ghoulish waxworks of Madame Tussaud’s.

It is a perilous task. But Maude has dangerous skills of her own . . .

Critic reviews

"Thrilling, heartfelt and utterly compulsive — a gripping adventure story and an intelligent, richly textured portrait of a moment in history... I loved it." (Emma Stonex, bestselling author The Lamplighters)

"A riveting tale of a sister’s burning desire for revenge, the tension tightening like a hangman’s noose...atmospheric, gripping and beautiful - the execution of this novel is flawless." (Amy McCulloch, author Breathless)

"This is escapist fiction at its best. Grisly, addictive fun... I devoured it in 24 hours." (Emilia Hart, author of Weyward)

Was fascinating to listen to a story about subjects, and a time in history that I don’t know a huge amount about, but I know have been well-researched by the author. Great cast of characters. Was gripped to the end.
