Eve Chase is the author of Black Rabbit Hall, The Wildling Sisters, The Daughters of Foxcote Manor, and The Birdcage. She lives in Oxford, England with her husband and three children.
“Chase parcels out her clues slowly, without a hint of showiness.
In the end, The Daughters of Foxcote Manor is not really about a
murder, or a creepy house, but about families—the ones we’re born
into, the ones we make and especially the ones we flee.” —The New
York Times
“Like Lisa Jewell’s The Family Upstairs and Ruth
Ware‘s The Death of Mrs. Westaway, Chase takes a haunted house
and exposes its ghosts, all those things that were hoped to stay
hidden in the walls...A compelling story about how the secrets we
hide from one another in order to protect actually can cause more
harm than good, but thankfully, fate always has a way of
interceding." —Paperback Paris
"A captivating mystery: beautifully written, with a rich sense
of place, a cast of memorable characters, and lots of deep, dark
secrets.”
—Kate Morton, author of The Clockmaker’s Daughter
“Eve Chase is an extraordinary writer and The Daughters of Foxcote
Manor is absolutely her best yet. No one creates families as
complex, loveable and utterly believable as Chase and she is the
master of the dual time frame narrative.”
—Lisa Jewell, author of The Family Upstairs
"Eve Chase is right up there with Tana French and Sarah Waters as
an author who writes page-turning masterpieces that meld a vibrant
sense of place with a heartbreaking cast of characters. I devoured
her latest, and will be recommending it to everyone I know. Her
plot twists floored me, and this haunting story will stay with me
for a very long time."
—Fiona Davis, author of The Chelsea Girls

richly crafted set of characters, and then places them in a
delightfully decrepit house sitting in an eerie forest with a dark
atmosphere...Told in chapters then and now, the past slowly creeps

pack a considerable punch with their freshness and emotional
resonance...A web of intricate threads links characters in both
timelines, leading to a satisfying ending. Sure to please fans of
Kate Morton and Diane Setterfield." —Historical Novels Review
"Devilishly atmospheric...Chase builds a narrative laden with
twists rendered so cleverly that readers likely will not foresee
them. She does so with deeply formed characters, a setting
guaranteed to evoke unease and prose that amplifies the ominous
events. But Chase does not stop with an engaging tale. Her
portrait of mothers and daughters...delves intensely into
connections that can be as fraught as those between fathers and
sons. With profound but restrained passion typical of Britons,
Chase creates a rewarding, disturbing tale of transgressions of
commission and omission, with a measure of redemption born of her
innate decency and empathy." —Richmond Times-Dispatch
