The first Sarah Dunant book I read was her breakthrough bestseller, 'The Birth of Venus.' I've since dug up her earlier novels, including the Hannah Wolfe mysteries. Not only is Dunant a fabulous writer of historical fiction, but her suspsense novels, this one included, are fabulous!

I was on the edge of my chair until the very end of this book. Well-crafted and incredibly suspenseful, it had me guessing until the very end. Some parts of the plot are predictable, but others took me by surprise. In short, I'm looking forward to the rest of the 'older' books by Dunant. If you enjoyed 'Mapping the Edge' you'll probably enjoy this one.
