The Mysterious Affair at Castaway House Reviews

I loved the gloriously, shamelessly old-fashioned title, with its hints of Agatha Christie and Josephine Tey . . . A fizzingly fresh story of mysteries-within-mysteries * Saga magazine *
An elegantly written debut by an author to watch out for * Random Things Through My Letterbox, blogspot *
Vivid and colourful . . . A well thought out, thorough mystery that does have you wanting to turn the next page * Lisa, Lisa Talks About *
A tale of mystery, secrets and love * Female First *
Highly absorbing * Love Reading *
A delicious new mystery . . . We started reading this over lunch yesterday, and became so engrossed, it was a struggle to get back to work * Novelicious *
