Emma recommends... I was totally gripped from start to finish! The Darkening Globe has the hallmarks of great gothic fiction - dark secrets, a sinisterly totemic object, mysterious characters, and the threat of madness - but with an Elizabethan England setting. The novel brilliantly captures the class divides both within and beyond the Queen's Court, and challenges the narrative of the "heroics" of the period's explorers, at the same time as being page-turningly pacy. A sensational read you are not going to want to miss!

---

1597, London. When Beatrice’s husband returns from exploring the New World, he comes home with unexpected company: a mysterious woman, and an enormous painted globe. As Hugh refuses to explain who their female guest is, Beatrice’s foreboding grows. The unwieldy globe now strikes her as sinister – a reminder of the world of secrets pervading her household. Then one night, the great, hulking globe begins to turn of its own accord. Terrifying new illustrations appear on its face – and when untimely deaths ensue, Beatrice is convinced that the drawings are connected.
 
Desperate to prove that she is not paranoid, Beatrice risks everything to uncover the truth. What sinister force is behind these killings? What really happened on Hugh’s excursion to the Americas? Who is the strange woman who won’t leave her house? And on this otherworldly map of murders, who will be painted as the final victim?
