Review:

"The story unfolds slowly, interspersed with glowing descriptions of the countryside around Balmoral in Edwardian times." (Historical Novels Review)

"The Balmoral Incident is the eighth book featuring Rose McQuinn and it says much for the author's skill that it is easy to pick up the storyline and understand the characters' relationships without having read the earlier books in the series... The historical background is beautifully drawn and the characterisation is strong and vivid, with likeable central characters who remain believable despite the vein of supernatural power that runs through the book. The Balmoral Incident is a compelling read." (Carol Westron Promoting Crime Fiction)
