Set in 1790s Covent Garden this book whisks you back to a bygone era.
Cat Royal is an orphan who lives at the back of the theatre in Drury Lane. She mingles with the high and low of society – from the actors on-stage and the lords and ladies in the stalls to the barrow boys in the grimy marketplace.
The tale is packed with colour and authentic detail. And of course there is a gripping diamond mystery. What more could you want?
