“[Shepherd] takes the familiar story of the Shelley family and fills in the holes in the historical record by turning it into a clever, imaginative and literate mystery.” — Kirkus Reviews

“Unforgettably chilling, A Fatal Likeness will haunt you long after you finish the last page.” — New York Times bestselling author Tasha Alexander

“Maddox’s brooding character and Shepherd’s own voice . . . are both enthralling.” — Booklist

“Charged with passion, betrayals and conspiracies, [A Fatal Likeness] more than restores Shelley’s darker side, yet it is Mary you won’t be able to forget.” — Bloomberg

“Shepherd shines again in this superb Victorian thriller. . . . The novel works equally as a family story, a blend of horror and mystery, and a plausible hypothesis about why so many women and children associated with Shelley died mysterious deaths.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“As a piece of literary detective work, it’s stimulating and hugely fun—even brilliant.” — The Spectator

“A potent mixture of passion, intrigue, perversion, and betrayal, exploring the lives of Shelley, Byron, and their Romantic intimates through a Gothic lens.” — Lyndsay Faye, author of The Gods of Gotham
