I absolutely loved Bonnie's debut novel 'I died at Fallow's Hall' and have recommended it to lots of our readers. Her second novel was eagerly anticipated and does not disappoint. Weaving gothic fairytale and crime fiction, it is such a compelling narrative. I can't wait to share it with our readers.

My Bookish Thoughts 💬
I absolutely adored Bonnie’s accomplished debut, I Died At Fallow Hall, so when she kindly offered me a proof of her next novel, I jumped at the chance!

Naturally, I had high hopes – Fallow Hall was one of my favourite reads last year – and I’m thrilled to say she’s smashed it again. Dead as Gold is a unique gothic thriller, deftly entwined with fairy tale elements. It’s atmospheric, mysterious, full of surprises, and features a brilliant cast of characters – one of which is the seaside town of Morrow itself.

I especially loved Ophelia, Adam, and little Felix. Kind and sensitive DI Kent, paired with the witty Culvers, made a wonderful detective duo. Huge congratulations to Bonnie for crafting another gripping and entertaining read – I’m already eagerly awaiting book three!

A huge thank you to @bonnieburkepatel @bedfordsq.publishers for this beautiful proof copy and @netgalley for sending me a digital copy in return for my honest review.
