Media Reviews
'Alanna Knight could hardly be better, with a crime novelist's insight into motive and aftermath' Ian Rankin 'Entertaining ... with plenty of gothic mystery, period colour and even a soupcon of science fiction. Alanna Knight mixes the genres like a master chef' Historical Novels Review 'All the mystery and intrigue of any Kathy Reichs or P. D. James story' Peterborough Evening Telegraph 'If Robert Louis Stevenson had written whodunnits Faro is just the detective he'd have invented' Sunday Post 'A highly enjoyable read' Undiscovered Scotland 'Edwardian Scotland is beautifully evoked in Alanna's Knight's novels starring her heroine Rose McQuinn ... Although there are elements of a cozy type crime novel set in the past, the action is quite fast and furious. The plot does move rapidly, and the period is extremely well evoked.' Angela Youngman 'The historical background is beautifully drawn and the characterisation is strong and vivid, with likeable central characters who remain believable despite the vein of supernatural power that runs through the book ... a compelling read.'
