Customer Reviews

A view of a divided city, divided hearts.

Well thought out and clearly explored is another of Ms Stamper's suspensful novels for adults, young and old. Well-defined characters have vivid hand-painted illustrations in neutral tones. I would like to see more of her illustrations. Another work of art is the cover. Each novel of Ms Stamper could stand alone or the first and third can connect. The second, A Cloud of Outrageous Blue, is Historical Fiction set in an earlier period. It would be brilliant to see a sister book to it.
