The Mesmerist - Barbara Ewing

This is one of my bargain books, I wasn't sure what to expect as I had never read Barbara Ewing before but for 33p it was worth a try.  I found it a bit slow reading at first as I couldn't really get interested in Hester and Kitty's story. However when Cordelia's story began to unfold the narrative became not just more interesting but moved at a much faster pace.

As the story was eventually intriging I'm glad I stuck with it.
