Praise for Gillian Linscott's Nell Bray Mysteries

"Linscott captures the tenor of the times . . . and presents a complex puzzle with an original solution. Well done."
- Kirkus Reviews on Dead Man Riding (starred review)

"Linscott depicts human nature in all its variations and truths. . . . She also ensnares her readers in a story that propels them through the book so rapidly that any history absorbed is merely incidental to the intriguing mystery."
