Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Mairi

Selwyn has been accused of murder. He never suspected, when Anora chose to marry Farold over him, that his jealousy would make people suspicious when Farold was found dead with a knife in his back. But, for the others, there is enough evidence for Selwyn to be sealed in the tomb with Farold.

Since I was ten, I have been wasting time wondering whether or not I should read this book- weird cover, but it sure sounded interesting. The fact that I had heard nothing but good things about the author, and a particularly positive recommendation from a friend, prompted me to actually sit down and read it after spending years thinking about doing just that. The book took barely any time to finish, and I am still wondering why I did not just sit down and read it.

Despite the fact that the protagonist is seventeen, this is probably a book for younger children.
