Customer Reviews

"Carnival is a dark gem of a book which I devoured in a single sitting. Prytherch's descriptions drip with atmosphere and his version of 1930s Venice is filled with shadows and secrets. The author achieves a fine blend of mystery and suspense whilst maintaining a brisk pace as the book builds to its grim climax. Highly recommended!"

 

"I found this book to be a compelling read - full of suspence and atmosphere. The plot was different to every other book that I have read, and it was very descriptive and the characters were realistic. I loved the unexpected ending."

 

"The characters are well developed (as always) and you want to read more about them!"
