The characters came to life in the most intimate situations. It is a modern tale of loss and revenge, from the point of view of the victim's family, police, and lawyers. Review 2: Fatal Verdict, set in York, England, kept me turning the page and the best part for me was the attention the author paid to editing. The only "warning" I would give is for American readers (or non-native English speakers)- the book is set in England and uses British terms and vocabulary as well as being set within the British system of justice. It is full of detail and the plot is well thought out and executed. This is a good story for people who like mysteries and police novels. I enjoyed this book, but it is definitely not a fast read. My latest book in this series, Dinosaurs, came out in April 2012.Review 1: This is the second of the Sarah Newby books in the series and the second that I have read.

Cat and Mouse is about a militant suffragette and her sister, who are involved in the fight for women’s rights in 1914, just before the First World War – the same period as the TV programme Downton Abbey. The Blood Upon the Rose is about a young aristocratic Irish girl who falls in love with an IRA volunteer in 1920, during the war for Irish independence.
