Recenzii
Engaging, vivid and revelling in historical detail, this thriller delves into a notorious murder. The reversal comes in a double blow, the first of which is so cunningly done I found myself pausing, frowning and riffling back through the pages to confirm that I had, indeed, been thoroughly stitched up
A twisting psychological thriller based on a real Jacobean murder. Unputdownable
A gripping historical thriller. Think Gone Girl with bodices. Brilliant
A tale of intrigue and ambition, this is a rich and fascinating book
A gripping page-turner that will have you awake long into the night. Ingenious
An intoxicating blend of intrigue, seduction, witchcraft and murder. The Poison Bed is beautifully told and impossible to put down
An electrifying, brilliantly executed thriller
Gripping and fascinating. Fremantle is a master
Who is to blame? And will they get away with it? A rollicking read
Immaculately detailed and atmospheric, this Jacobean mystery borrows from both the revenge tragedies and contemporary noir thriller to manipulate the reader. It is dark, clever and compulsive
A novel set in the court of James I that reopens the case of Robert and Frances Carr, aristocrats charged with killing a man who opposed their marriage. With skill and delicacy, Fremantle presents the period as a cabinet of curiosities
Exquisite. The reveal is terrifying
A Jacobean Gone Girl! Dark and deeply satisfying, The Poison Bed is a tale of monstrous intrigue and murder
A riveting tale that kept me reading into the night. Beautifully written and realised
A thoroughly compelling tale of sexually-charged intrigue and murder. Once started, impossible to put down
A twisting tale of power, poison and intrigue. Historical fiction with the pull of a psychological thriller
Flawless. A sharp, well-constructed thriller, this is a book that will keep you on your toes
A toxic blend of glamour, intrigue and ambition
A seductive historical thriller. The Jacobean world leaps off the page in all its vivid, visceral glory
Brilliant. Gripping and sexy and wholly transporting. Highly recommended.
A riveting tale. I cannot recommend this highly enough
A great summer read. Fremantle weaves together documented fact with sensitively imagined fiction to create a novel that helps us understand a time and place better
A creepy and powerfully immersive retelling of one of the greatest scandals of the Jacobean court . . . The Poison Bed is unerringly addictive. Fremantle's writing has a dynamic quality and an immediacy that draws readers in, whether or not they're familiar with the material of the story
Engaging, vivid and cleverly constructed. One expects the reversal, but it comes in a double blow, the first of which is so cunningly done I found myself pausing, frowning and riffling back through the pages to confirm that I had, indeed, been thoroughly stitched up
