Description
The enthralling Sunday Times bestselling gothic novel from the author of Labyrinth and The Burning Chambers
The clock strikes twelve. Beneath the wind and the remorseless tolling of the bell, no one can hear the scream . . .
1912. A Sussex churchyard. Villagers gather on the night when the ghosts of those who will not survive the coming year are thought to walk. And in the shadows, a woman lies murdered.
As the flood waters rise, Connie Gifford is marooned in a decaying house with her increasingly tormented father. He drinks to escape the past, but an accident has robbed her of her most significant childhood memories. Until the disturbance at the church awakens fragments of those vanished years . . .

The Taxidermist's Daughter by Kate Mosse has been praised for its atmospheric and gripping narrative, delivering a gothic thriller that transports readers to the chilling setting of early 20th-century Sussex. Reviewers highlight Mosse's ability to weave suspense with richly crafted descriptions, reminiscent of works by Daphne du Maurier. The novel is celebrated for its clever construction and the moody atmosphere it builds, making it a compelling and unputdownable read that blends elements of a murder mystery with gothic horror.
