The Lofty, isolated Darracott Place is beset with tragedy.
And when the contemptible Lord Darracot's eldest son meets an awful death, the family are left with no other choice than to invite mysterious heir apparent Hugo to stay.
When the handsome young man arrives, their suspicions seem to be confirmed: he is unsophisticated and unworldly. The family resolve to help educate him.
But as time goes on, will the Darracotts learn there's more to Hugo than meets the eye?

Georgette Heyer is unbeatable
—— India KnightSparkling
—— IndependentMy favourite historical novelist - stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours
—— Margaret DrabbleThis is a writer whose breadth of imagination and supple prose transcend the genre: she is one of the finest writers in English
—— Daily TelegraphShe is a magical storyteller - it is as an artist that she excels
—— New StatesmanClare Clark writes with the eyes of a historian and the soul of a novelist.
—— Amanda ForemanThis densely textured story forces readers to ask: who are the savages?
—— Elizabeth Buchan , Sunday Times CultureAs Clare Clark's third novel so lushly illustrates, Louisiana has never been the safest place to live... this eye-opening account of Louisiana's early history conjures up a nicely gothic landscape
—— Emma Hagestadt , IndependentSzalay is certainly a writer to look out for... The writer [he] most puts me in mind of is a young Julian Barnes
—— Thebookbag.co.ukSzalay is immensely talented... [he] gets everything right: the atmosphere, the suspense, the inner lives of his characters. Absolutely superb

—— Alastair Mabbott , HeraldSparky debut
—— Jonathan Barnes , Literary ReviewBenedictus takes us on a trail of the contentious highs and lows of the rich and famous in a mixture of dark humour and sharp dialogue. For Benedictus, and his valiant debut novel, more of the same please
—— Ben Bookless , Big IssueThe story of the ultimate celeb after-party, it's a knowing wink at publishing and celebrity culture - a high-concept first novel sitting just the right side of salacious
—— ElleThe Afterparty avoids smugness partly because it has more affection that vitriol for the culture that it mocks... It's very funny, but sad, too... Well-drawn characters, smart dialogue and a canny plot
—— Anthony Cummins , The Times
