## Description

Richly atmospheric and deliciously eerie, The House on Vesper Sands is a gothic mystery set in Victorian London - best read while the night deepens and lamplight flickers . . . 'Dickens is whirling enviously in his grave' Irish Times 'Clever and funny and exquisitely disturbing' Joanna Cannon 'Spine-tinglingly spooky' Red In Victorian London, poor women are vanishing, and rumours abound of a shadowy gang known as the Spiriters. While Gideon Bliss sets out in search of his lost love, a seamstress jumps to her death with a mysterious message stitched into her own skin. Nearby, her aristocratic employer makes an abrupt exit from a gala ball, with society columnist Octavia Hillingdon in pursuit. And on the sullen Kent shore, as the darkness gathers, secrets lie hidden at the house on Vesper Sands.
