Deliciously spooky

Observer

Anyone familiar with Purcell's previous novels will know she's an expert at bone-rattling tension … and Bone China is just as eerie … Written with an atmosphere of real foreboding, this is a sensational late autumn read as the evenings close in

Stylist

Du Maurier-tastic … Purcell has a sure storytelling touch, a command of atmosphere and a keen eye for the telling details of social history. Oh, and she stores up some satisfying and suitably macabre final revelations

Paraic O'Donnell, Guardian

A Victorian tale replete with laudanum, tuberculosis and possibly fairies … a clever, creepy read

Sunday Express, Best New Thrillers

[Laura Purcell] does creeping menace like no one else. With Bone China, once again, I'm sleeping with the lights on

Red

A brilliantly atmospheric and chilling tale and I raced through the pages hardly daring to find out what would happen next! Laura's characters and the world they inhabit are compelling, unsettling and richly drawn. A fabulous tale!
