Critical Praise

"Lauren Baratz-Logsted has tapped into the Victorian fascination with the social monster, and in Vertigo she concocts an ingenious chamber opera of a novel. But whether the monster is to be found behind bars or deep within the protagonist herself is ultimately a question for the reader to decide."

—Dave King, author of The Ha-Ha

“An erotic novel that unfolds in a claustrophobic emotional landscape bound by Victorian convention…. [Builds] layer upon layer of tension in a plot reminiscent of Ruth Rendell's novels of psychological suspense.”

—Boston Globe

"Entertaining… keeps the readers guessing up to the end."

—Publishers Weekly
