The latest instalment of Deryn Lake's long-running series featuring the widower John
Rawlings combines two appealing elements – the Georgian mystery and a Cornish
backdrop that features the legendary Furry Dance. Lake creates an interesting picture
of past times while developing a story which involves the killing of glamorous
courtesan Diana Warwick as well as a new relationship between Rawlings and the
lovely Elizabeth di Lorenzi, daughter of the Earl of Exmoor.
