Daughters of Night

by Laura ShepherdRobinson (£14.99, HB, Pan Macmillan)

The follow-up to Laura’s award-winning debut Blood & Sugar, this enthralling novel sweeps us back to the late eighteenth century, and into a world of pleasure gardens, brothels and masquerade balls. When Caroline ‘Caro’ Corsham finds a well-dressed woman is wounded, police are quick to act until they realise she is a prostitute – but

Caroline has her own motives for seeking justice. With an awe-inspiring female lead, this book is an absolute triumph.
