The Darkening Globe is a dark, atmospheric paranormal murder mystery, set in Tudor England.
The story revolves around (pun whole heartedly intended) an ominous, fortune telling Globe, commissioned by the Sir Hugh Radclyffe, following his most recent expedition, his beloved Wife Beatrice, alongside their 2 children await his return with anticipation, little does she know, this return brings with it a mysterious lodger, and murder at every turn (sorry!).
I'm not usually one for Murder Mystery, but the Historical Fiction paired with the paranormal, and having read and loved The Burnings, I knew I had to at least give it a go, and I loved it. Naomi is such a fantastic writer, down to every intricate dress detail and sweeping sound.
My main criticism is that this was released in Spring, and not Autumn/Winter where I could live out my cold, dark, haunted evening reading fantasies with this beautifully gloomy book. I fear I will never look at a Globe the same again.
