Description

'I genuinely could not put this down' Stacey Halls, author of Mrs England 'A tour de force of a gothic thriller. I devoured it' Gillian McAllister, author of Wrong Place, Wrong Time

The Burial Plot is a spellbinding historical Gothic thriller about murder and manipulation, set in Victorian London. From Elizabeth Macneal, the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Doll Factory.

London, 1839. With the cemeteries full and money to be made in death, tricksters Crawford and Bonnie survive on wicked schemes and ill-gotten coin. But one blistering evening, their fortunes flip. A man lies in a pool of blood at Bonnies feet and now she needs to disappear.

Crawford secures her a position as ladys maid in a grand house on the Thames. As Bonnie comes to understand the family the eccentric Mr Moncrieff, obsessively drawing mausoleums for his dead wife, and their peculiar daughter Cissie, scribbling imaginary love letters to herself she begins to question what secrets are lying behind the houses paper-thin walls and whether her own presence here was planned from the beginning.

Because Crawford is watching, and perhaps he is plotting his greatest trick yet . . .
