When Kit goes to a dance class she is hoping simply to take her mind off her studies. Soon it looks like Joe, a stranger she meets there, might do more than that. But when Kit uncovers a mystery involving the young Charles Dickens and the slaughter of a prostitute known as The Countess, she is sucked back in to the world of books, and discovers how Dickens became tangled up with this horrendous crime.

MEDIA REVIEWS

A genuinely puzzling historical murder mystery linking Dickens to the gruesome murder of a prostitute . . . Fresh and clever and very funny. - Guardian

Gowers's writing is absolutely beautiful. - The Times

Really a contemporary love story, and a very good one too . . . This is fine writing . . . sharp, acute, comic and true to life. - Allan Massie, Scotsman

Gowers is a genius. - Scarlett Thomas

Singularly convincing an genuinely moving . . . Twenty-first-century love is laid tenderly but unflinchingly bare in this ultimately strange and lingering novel. - Independent on Sunday

A dark delight of a novel. - Tina Jackson, Metro
