I finished this Kate Mosse book a few days ago and enjoyed it overall, but with a few reservations. The description of the setting on the Fishbourne marshes and the dark, brooding atmosphere were terrific, but the characters were rather less so and the whole taxidermy aspect felt wasted.
See my longer review over at Goodreads but don’t let me put anyone off reading this – it’s still a good page-turner with a really original storyline.
