What the Critics are Saying
Black Drop is a joy from start to finish. I particularly liked the glimpses of the grubby machinery of government from the inside, giving a real sense of the intrigues behind closed doors. Jago is a very sympathetic hero, with all his flaws, virtues and secrets, and Philpott made me want to smile and cheer.
Andrew Taylor, author of The Ashes of London
A gripping, intricate story of Georgian high politics and low life.
Leonora Nattrass's historical spy novel is top notch -- W.C. Ryan, author of A House of Ghosts
A riveting political thriller, set at a fulcrum-point in global history. The setting is viscerally immersive and the characters spring to life from the page. This masterful narrative of deception, intrigue and heroism unfolds with compelling pace, wry humour and acute psychological observation. Gripping, moving and utterly engaging.
Philippa East, author of Little White Lies
