A review by jackierobinson
The Shape of Darkness by Laura Purcell

4.0

I would follow Laura Purcell to the ends of the earth. This was an excellent gothic novel set in Victorian Bath as Agnes struggles to keep her business creating silhouette drawings in the age of the photograph. Matters worsen when Agnes’ clients are found dead, prompting her to consult a child spirit medium to figure out who is behind the murders. The twist in this was SO GOOD and I did not see it coming! Purcell has a way of writing that draws you in and leaves you wanting more. An excellent mystery for those who don’t mind something a bit darker.
