Edge of Dark

The Edge of Dark is Pamela Hartshorne's third novel to explore the haunting relationship between the past and the present. An historian as well as an award-winning romance writer, she lives in York, and continues to draw inspiration from her PhD research to write about the 16th century, in fact and in fiction. Time's Echo, her first novel written under her real name, was shortlisted for awards on both sides of the Atlantic.

What can I say? I LOVED this book ... I loved the whole time-slip part of the novel, and it was so well-written that it became completely believable ... If you enjoy historical fiction, and have enjoyed previous authors such as Barbara Erskine and Deborah Harkness (although less of the supernatural in this novel!) then you will LOVE Pamela Hartshorne. Reading Room With A View With richly evocative depictions of Jane's life in the sixteenth century, I loved how the historical period was brought to life. Coupled with the creepy atmosphere of the present Holmwood House and some dark, vengeful characters haunting both Jane and Roz, The Edge Of Dark is a deliciously compulsive read. I became so completely engrossed in this book, the world around me disappeared along with several hours of my day. I loved this book, and would highly recommend it to fans of historical fiction and timeslip novels. It's one of my personal favourites. Cosybooks.com An entertaining, compelling and genuinely eerie read. shereadsnovels.wordpress.com The Edge of Dark is the first Pamela Hartshorne novel I've read but it certainly won't be the last ... This is a fantastic page turner, filled with twists and turns and a great cast of characters. It is at times thrillingly dark as the title suggests and I can't wait to read the author's previous books. This novel will be perfect for fans of Tudor fiction such as Philippa Gregory and of course fans of time slip fiction such as that of Barbara Erskine. LisaReadsBooks What can I say?

Reading Room With A View With each successive novel, Pamela Hartshorne's writing goes from strength to strength. There is no doubt that she has captured the idea of the time slip/dual narrative historical novel to perfection and she continues to enthral, beguile and entertain. Recommended if you like dual time narratives by Barbara Erskine, Susanna Kearsley, Rachel Hore.
