"For those who love a tawdry Victorian mystery or romance novel,
The Angel of Highgate is good fun." - Fangirl Nation "Everything I
expect from Victorian fiction and more...brilliant entertainment!"
- Rising Shadow
"Lovely descriptions...and well drawn characters" - Reviewing the
Evidence
"I found it hard to put this book down...Entwistle does a brilliant
job of evoking Victorian London and it certainly is not a sanitized
version of the city. It definitely smells, from the horse dung in
the roads to the open middens in the less salubrious parts of
town." - Lit Reactor
"THE ANGEL OF HIGHGATE is as lush and charming as it is morbid, and
the masterful fusion is pulled off with prose that is as rich as
the more florid verbiage of classic lit, while also being as smooth
and readable as other contemporary fiction." - The Blood Shed
"This book is as thrilling as any horror fiction you could get from
Poe or Shelly two centuries ago." - Atomic Moo
