Exploring the adventure and thrill of the Victorian circus setting, the series is exceptionally well written, leaving the reader hanging for every page, and desperate to see Lizzie triumph in the face of adversity. It’s got a rich mix of historical content, circus adventure and detective story, which should appeal to fans of Sherlock Holmes, steampunk and anyone who likes a strong, feisty heroine saving the day.
The Magnificent Lizzie Brown and the Devil's Hound Synopsis
‘Lizzie’s blood chilled as the sound went right through her. It was the baying of a hound…’
A clown falls ill, the star performer is injured, and tickets for the show aren’t selling. Is it because of the terrifying dog said to haunt a nearby graveyard? After a chilling message from beyond the grave, circus fortune-teller Lizzie Brown decides to confront the so called ‘devil’s hound’ once and for all.
“Lockwood’s spirited tale is filled with colourful characters, beginning with determined Lizzie herself, and a steady sense of suspense and mystery pushes the story forward.” Publishers Weekly
“A cast of likeable circus people, a spunky heroine and a twisty mystery that will keep pages turning until the book’s finale.” Kirkus Reviews
