Reviews for McNaughten
...uncannily well-timed...a feast of period detail.
Daily Telegraph
Worthy of Dickens... a gripping thriller...a rich, clever, absorbing novel that is extremely hard to fault.
The Times
"Written with verve, Sian Busby infiltrates the heart and soul of the Victorian world, which uncannily parallels our own".
Daily Telegraph
This ingenious fact-into-fiction novel makes a fine, marvellously readable, melodramatic meal of the case that established the 'McNaughten Rules'.
Saga Magazine
"Mcnaughten has an intricacy and sentimentality worthy of Dickens and a satirical eye as sharp as Thackeray's... A gripping thriller, rich, clever, absorbing and extremely hard to fault ...a witty look at men in power and a plot that shocks with an extraordinary twist".
