Review ------ 'pacy and assured...Well crafted, it has all the pleasures of an intriguing lead character, intricate plot and historical context'. Author: Elizabeth Buchan Source: Daily Mail 'Rory Clements's timely thriller set in the 1930s evokes a period of political polarisation, mistrust and simmering violence. Corpus is fast-paced and there are plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing. This is the first of a promising series and Wilde is a likeable hero. If his leap from Cambridge historian to fearless motor-biking crime fighter stretches credulity, perhaps that is the fault of the Cambridge historians I have known.' Author: Antonia Senior Source: The Times, Saturday Review 'This clever novel, rich in deceptions and intrigue, shows the reach of Stalin and Hitler into every class of British society, threatening violence on a horrific scale. Corpus is a standout historical novel and thriller by an author who can turn his hand to any historical period he chooses.' Author: Kate Atherton Source: Daily Express I was a huge fan of the John Shakespeare series and love every single book. Corpus was an enjoyable read...
