The page-turning psychological thriller novella about infatuation, revenge and the lengths we will go to for love.
"She pressed her nose gingerly to the glass, peering unblinking through the viscous liquid at her gift."
Victorian, rural Sussex. When headstrong daughter of a rector, Constance Timothy, receives a flurry of gifts in pretty little boxes from the charming, smouldering student doctor Smith Williams, her whole family anticipates a future betrothal.
Yet beneath the exquisite pastel lids and satin bows lie macabre secrets that entice Constance into a private world of obsession and darkness, where morality becomes blurred, loyalties are tested and unthinkable acts are possible.
One secret will shake the genteel world she knows to the core...
Book One of The Carousel of Curiosities, this haunting novella is perfect for readers of Sarah Waters, Laura Purcell and Angela Carter.
