Wow think I have just found a new favourite author.

This is a gothic novel but with a feminist twist. It's set on a creepy island of secrets and lies so that nothing is as it first appears. In true Gothic novel style, the women are in distress and in danger from men, this is set in the Victorian era after all. However beware, as the song says, the female of the Species is more deadly than the male. Evolution versus creationism has been given its supernatural twist in the form of a Lie Tree and a new Heroine aptly called Faith must struggle through glimpses of truth revealed within her own lies to find the heart of the matter.

Warning as this is a historic novel the beginning may seem slow for some as we need to set the scene and explain the rules of the game to a modern audience. For example a woman’s almost nonexistent social ranking. Nearly everything is important though for many truths are revealed by the end of which the identity of the murderer is only one.
