Reviews

"A gripping, thrilling mystery...the plot is complex, exciting, and has a high degree of suspense maintained right to the end."
Sarah Cuthbertson, Historical Novel Society

"Lucienne Boyce writes in a style that makes you want to savour every word and soak up the atmosphere created by her descriptions of the characters and their surroundings."
Sir Read-A-Lot.

"The story is unpredictable and unusual and I didn't see the twists coming - which is a refreshing change...Also, To the Fair Land was well researched and had the 'right feel' for the time in which it was set...I was disappointed when I had reached the end - I didn't want it to finish!"
Michele Gent, Historical Novel Society Indies Reviews.

"From the first page, this extraordinary book plunges the reader into late 18th century London...The characters are well drawn, making the reader sympathetic to the obsessions that trigger the dangerous quest of the hero, Ben Dearlove. The writing is masterful, weaving a multi-sensory experience of the many settings described...[it is] as thrilling and startling as any good detective story with deep human topics and values at its core. It put me in mind of Conan Doyle in this respect: a stimulating chase that leaves you pondering on the human condition long after you've finished the final page."
Debbie Young, Off the Shelf.

"To The Fair Land was a thoroughly enjoyable read. Boyce takes the reader on an adventurous journey with Ben, an extremely likeable character. Mysteries abound, calumnies are committed, lives are forever changed and one young man must make a momentous decision."
Darlene Elizabeth Williams, HF Author, Freelance Writer and Mentor.

"A tale of mystery, romance and adventure...the tension builds to a strategically placed and refreshingly unpredictable twist."
Jodie Vowles, Literature Works.
