Biografía breve
Now writing as James Conan, William Horwood and Helen Rappaport are both established authors. William Horwood was a city and feature editor with the Daily Mail until, in 1978, he wrote the first of his now classic Duncton Chronicles which became instant international bestsellers. His wide-ranging books since include his critically acclaimed memoir The Boy with No Shoes. William has been married three times, has six children and now lives in Oxford. Helen Rappaport studied Russian at university and for many years worked as an actress in TV and films before turning to historical writing in the early 1990s. She is the author of books on Joseph Stalin, Queen Victoria and the award-winning An Encyclopedia of Women Social Reformers, as well as being a specialist in 19th-century women's history.

I really enjoyed this book. It was an exciting adventure around Chicago during the 1893 World’s Fair. This was the same year as HH Holmes. I was a bit surprised that he didn’t make an appearance. Emily was a good character, determined and well flushed out. I was always on her side. Anna was a bit harder to grow attached to. Even though the story was exciting, it was one of those where with an ounce of common sense and some better decision making skills there wouldn’t have been all this trouble anyway. Of course, if we did that then there would be no book. Perhaps it’s just a bit too farfetched for my history loving self.

I read for enjoyment and to make my commute seem less painful. This book definitely helped with that and for that reason I’d recommend it to any lover of historical fiction mixed with a dash of adventure.

Colour! Colour! and more colour. A rich, deeply textured story that is so well written you can almost smell the coppery tang of blood from the slaughter house floor. Engaging characters that hide surprisingly dark twists under the veneer of respectablity.

I couldn't put this down and found myself awake a silly o'clock in the morning think "Just one more chapter"
