House of Shades

A dark, immersive tale, steeped in atmosphere, of a woman's search for the truth. Doctoress Hester Reeves has a new commission which will take her away from her canal-side community in Kings Cross into the upper echelons of Fitzrovia society - to Tall Trees, a house full of secrets and darkness.

Hester's charge, Gervaise Cherville, is in rapidly declining health. But on arriving at Tall Trees, Hester quickly discovers there is a bigger purpose for her. One that involves her carrying out dangerous work - which will upend the lives of many others, including Hester herself.

If she is to survive her time at Tall Trees, Hester will need to draw upon all of her strength and ingenuity.
