Recenzii

Richly atmospheric and irresistibly readable
A high-tension tale of academic skulduggery and murky aristocratic intrigue.
This one will appeal to lovers of Dan Brown and Elizabeth Kostova and other mysteries of old documents and historical figures
Intricately plotted, exquisitely written, and brimming with atmosphere, The Bequest is a brilliant debut, as smart as it is compelling
Readers will eagerly await Margaret's next
There are two attractions here: the present-day academic whodunnit and the olden puzzle revealed in Renaissance letters; viewers of the Netflix series The Chair will eat this up, as will readers of Philippa Gregory and Robert J. Lloyd
A first rate mystery by a first time author. Intriguing plot and well drawn characters
