A clever, gripping thriller — a <i>Da Vinci Code </i>for those who like their prose to be elegant as well as page-turning
- Antonia Senior, The Times – Best Historical Fiction of 2015
Magnificent...Clever, gripping, and a nifty thriller to boot
Daily Mail
<i>Into the Fire</i> is a wonderful blend of fast and furious action, bravura storytelling, a palpable sense of place - Orléans past and present - and a whodunnit that will keep you guessing until the final pages. Fabulous.
- Kate Mosse,
Wonderful...Combines the two things I love most: thrillers and historical fiction
Daily Express
Expertly blends a very plausible solution to a genuine historical mystery with a compulsive contemporary thriller. The result, as the title suggests, is intoxicatingly fiery reading
- Robert Goddard,
Manda Scott’s writing is so grippingly vivid that once you begin reading, it becomes your reality. Highly recommended
- Elizabeth Chadwick,
To say I was blown away is an understatement of the greatest magnitude. <i>Into the Fire</i> is in a word, magnificent. Page turning. Visceral. Mesmerising. Evocative - it's so evocative. It's filthy-nailed, sweat-stained, blood-drenched, gut-wrenching, tear-inducing. It's everything I want a book to be – I did not want it to end
- Ben Kane,
An absorbing thriller that cleverly unites the past and the present
- Nick Rennison, BBC History
An absorbing thriller that cleverly unites the past and the present
- Nick Rennison, BBC History
Riveting for both the pulse-pounding action and the moral and character complexity
