About this listen

For listeners of Sarah Penner and Stuart Turton comes a historical mystery about a young woman in Victorian London who will stop at nothing to avenge her sister after her suspicious death aboard an Arctic exploration ship.

An Arctic expedition. A mysterious death. And the lengths to which one woman will go to avenge her sister.

When Maude Horton receives a letter from the British Admiralty informing her of her younger sister’s death, her world is shattered. Bold and daring, Constance had run away from her life in Victorian London two years prior, disguising herself as a boy to board the Makepeace, an expedition vessel bound for the Arctic’s unexplored Northwest Passage. The admiralty claims Constance’s death was a tragic accident, but Maude knows when she is being deceived.

Armed with Constance’s diary from her time at sea and a fiery desire for justice, Maude sets her sights on the Makepeace’s former scientist, Edison Stowe, a greedy and manipulative man who she suspects had a hand in her sister’s death. When she learns he has a new venture, a travel company that escorts spectators across the country to witness popular public hangings, Maude decides to join the latest tour, determined to extract the truth from Stowe and avenge her sister—no matter the risk to herself.

From the stark beauty of the Arctic to the teeming streets of Victorian London, Maude Horton’s Glorious Revenge is a mysterious, transporting tale about the unbreakable bond of sisterhood and the things we are driven to do by both love and greed.

Critic reviews

“Thrilling, heartfelt and utterly compulsive, Maude Horton’s Glorious Revenge is a triumphant second novel. It is that rare thing—a gripping adventure story and an intelligent, richly textured portrait of a moment in history. Every page is steeped in atmosphere, from the gallows of Victorian London to the perils of polar exploration aboard the great ship Makepeace, as Pook combines impressive research with fine-tuned characterization, a galloping plot and absolute command of her story. This is a glorious creation indeed—I loved it.”—EMMA STONEX, bestselling author of The Lamplighters

“Lizzie Pook effortlessly blends a wild Arctic adventure with a riveting tale of a sister’s burning desire for revenge, the tension tightening like a hangman’s noose. Her writing is atmospheric, gripping and beautiful—the execution of this novel is flawless.”—AMY McCULLOCH, internationally bestselling author of Breathless

“[A] heart-stopping ride through the dark underbelly of Victorian London and the icy plains of the Arctic. Stunningly written and meticulously researched, this is escapist fiction at its best. Grisly, addictive fun—as glorious as the titular character's revenge. I devoured it in twenty-four hours."—EMILIA HART, New York Times bestselling author of Weyward
