Bertie, the new owner of a unique Edwardian boathouse, becomes convinced that the carpenter who built it was murdered: his investigations immerse him in the brilliant life of Lord James, the enigmatic aristocrat who commissioned the boathouse as a retreat \u2013 or maybe a cage \u2013 for his glamorous American bride.\u00a0<strong><em>The Cedar Cage<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is rooted in love-triangles both past and present, laden with intrigue, passion, blackmail and murder as history repeats itself uncannily. Yet its readers \u2013 like its characters \u2013 must make up their own minds: is Bertie\u2019s strange, unquenchable imagination running riot \u2026 or has something genuinely supernatural been at work?<\/p>\n<p>The three characteristics that distinguish this debut novel are originality, ambiguity and ambition. There is plenty of intrigue and mystery to keep you turning the pages and characterisation is solid. But it&#8217;s the pinpoint period detail and atmosphere of creepy isolation sustained throughout that really impresses. Stylish, assured and a welcome new voice in a fluently written novel rich in symbolism. Recommended 5-Stars. &#8212;<strong>F.G.Cottam, Paranormal-Mystery Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The final twist in this original and compulsive page-turner is one you could never have imagined or, indeed, seen coming. &#8216;The Cedar Cage&#8217; deserves huge success! &#8212;<strong>Christopher Warwick, Royal Biographer and Broadcaster<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A highly entertaining page-turner and intriguing thriller, which I could easily see adapted for film.
