Review(s):
Praise for M. B. Shaw:
“A great sweeping adventure. Ideal for holiday reading.”
“A snowy Christmas mystery in a country village, intriguing characters and a twisty-turny plot. I loved this book and couldn't put it down. Fabulous!”
“A wonderfully layered mystery with a multifaceted amateur sleuth, artist Iris Grey. Ms. Shaw's English village setting made me feel like I was right there, and kept me reading until late into the night. I can't wait to see where Iris Grey's next artistic commission takes us.”
“A contemporary-set cosy crime novel that harks back to the Golden Age of detective fiction. Tilly Bagshawe, writing under a pseudonym, introduces us to society portraitist Iris Grey. Iris finds herself caught up in all manner of sleuthing and intrigue.”
“A rich, mystery debut. Tilly Bagshawe makes a smooth transition to the world of puzzlers."
"The principled, smart, and courageous Iris is bound to garner enthusiastic fans."
"Complicated relationships create a strong backdrop for a complex mystery, and one hopes, the foundation for more books to come."
"One of those rare novels that perfectly balances its complex mystery writing with a juicy yet still entirely believable personal life for its detective. Ms. Shaw knows how to write a page-turner with a thoroughly modern cast and setting. I’ll definitely be looking out for more books in this series!"
“A festering box of secrets, providing a Christmas cocktail of family lies and deliciously conceived murder.”
"Be sure to start reading M. B. Shaw's evocatively written mystery early in the day, or else you'll be up late into the night-it's that unputdownable.”
