A retelling of the Trojan war that centres the women. Its mix of modernity and classical takes a little getting used to - Greek soldiers sounding like football fans - but Barker is a good enough writer to make this approach work.

I am a huge sucker for historical novels and the Tudor period particularly, but didn't love this as much as I hoped. I admire what the author attempts to do - the narrative weaves in the perspective of multiple characters, including servants - but in ...more

No one writes a better sense of place and small town community than Harper, and this book captures both perfectly. It wasn't my favourite of hers - I felt the central mystery was dragged out a bit - but it was still a well above average murder myster ...more

“While this drama and destruction was keeping life interesting, it was playing merry hell with my insurance premiums. Plus, you try making a claim when the cause is ‘trashed by a vampire’.”
