Reviews / Votes

'An enticing adventure of a novel, rich in beautifully realised period detail' - Kate Hamer, author of The Girl in the Red Coat; 'Full of dark wisdom and mystery. A thoroughly good read' - Paula Brackston, author of The Witch's Daughter; 'A gothic mystery to savour ... a truly fascinating mystery to savour' - Shots Mag; 'Beautifully realised . . . Stansfield manages to create a dark and macabre atmosphere that feels fresh and original' The Times - Historical Fiction Book of the Month; 'An eerily haunting tale' - Peterborough Telegraph; `Stansfield also shares du Maurier's talent for finely crafted storytelling. ... she evokes the unnerving sense of confusion and secrecy that pervaded The Visitor.' - New Welsh Review; `This is a Gothic tale with a swirling mist of speculation surrounding the mysterious Charlotte Dymond. ... As this was a notorious real life murder without a satisfactory explanation of events this book provides very interesting reading.' - Jennifer Palmer, Promoting Crime; `Stansfield guides us deftly through a complicated series of twists, in clear, mobile prose. Her language draws you into the atmosphere of mid-Victorian Cornwall ... If a test of a good novel is wanting to read on, then this one passes with flying colours. ... If you want a stimulating, engrossing and entertaining, as well as evocative read, Falling Creatures offers that, and much more.' Aberystwyth EGO
