Critic reviews

'I absolutely loved The Tumbling Girl. Beautifully evocative, deftly plotted and with engaging characters.' (Sheila O’Flanagan, Sunday Times bestselling author of Three Weddings and a Proposal)

'The Tumbling Girl is brilliant. [B]y a true authority on Victorian domestic murder, this book keeps you guessing till the end!' (A.J. West, award-winning author of The Spirit Engineer)

'I loved it from the opening line! It’s such a fresh and funny take on the genre, but gripping, too, and I love its authentic, feminist edge. Bridget writes wonderfully. It had me on the edge of my seat.' (S.J. Bennett, author of The Windsor Knot)

Interesting characters, setting and story.

I really enjoyed this book. It was just unusual enough to keep my attention and I liked the main characters.

I find authors that use cliff hangers scammers

Ms. Blackborow did an excellent portrayal of characters. However, the author's cliffhanger scheme to sell the next book in a series makes me feel totally disgusted. A truly talented author creates a work that can stand on its own and not sucker bunch readers into buying the next.
