About the Book

"Filled with surprising, exotic, and dangerous treats, is the perfect thing for a winter's night by the fire." -Washington Post

In Mysteries of Winterthurn, the brilliant young detective-hero Xavier Kilgarvan is confronted with three baffling cases—"The Virgin in the Rose-Bower," "The Devil's Half-Acre," and "The Blood-Stained Gown"—that tax his genius for detection to the utmost, just as his forbidden passion for his cousin Perdita becomes an obsession that shapes his life.

Critical Praise

"Filled with surprising, exotic, and dangerous treats, is the perfect thing for a winter's night by the fire." — Washington Post

"Miss Oates has now taken on the old-fashioned detective story - a form that would seem the perfect vehicle for displaying her idiosyncratic gifts and preoccupations." — New York Times
