A review by books_nooks_spooks
The Whispering Muse by Laura Purcell

There is nothing more magical AND terrifying than being backstage in a theatre - it makes the perfectly daunting setting for a grotesque, faustian tale. Not only does this book have an atmospheric backdrop, you get a decent dose of curses, relics, divas, scandal, a woman scorned, superstition, pacts, revenge, Victorian London, Greek mythology and of course tragedy. Now that’s a checklist! If you love a historical mystery, you are a fan of Laura Purcell or you simply love theatre and all it’s dramatics dahling, then you should probably grab yourself a copy of this book!
