Critical Praise

"Like all the best novels, The Conjurer's Bird left me with the sense of having learned something. . . . Poignant and beguiling."

——Andrew Taylor, author of An Unpardonable Crime<</FONT>

"[A] gripping book of literary suspense. . . . Davies indulges in clever speculation about the bird's whereabouts and adds an appealing strain of romance surrounding the identity of Banks's mistress. . . . A captivating novel."

——Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Elegantly written and exquisitely researched, The Conjurer's Bird is an engrossing read, a true page-turner as its story twines through past and present. I hated to put it down until the final revelation. Anyone who loved such books as Possession or Girl with a Pearl Earring should be delighted by The Conjurer's Bird."

——India Edghill, author of Queenmaker and Wisdom's Daughter
