The Devil's Highway - Softcover

Praise for Hannah March’s Robert Fairfax mysteries:

 

“March writes in an engaging, easy-to-read style and draws the reader in from the very beginning to her well-spun web of a story. She is adept at delineating characters with just a few telling phrases...A well-paced, exciting book.”—Charlotte Austin Review

 

“A clever and accomplished first novel...witty and convincing; for fans of period dramas such as Moll Flanders and Tom Jones, this will slip down like a cup of sherbet.”—Scotland on Sunday

 

“Well written with a great deal of self-assurance. I liked the period detail and the characterization of the large cast of suspects.”—Deryn Lake, author of Shots

March has created a felicitously realised Georgian mystery, and setting a detective novel in the age of Moll Flanders is a masterstroke...
