 “Fans of gothic historical fiction and historical romantic suspense will find much to enjoy here.” —Booklist

“A suspenseful and page-turning descent into obsession, love, and murder in the wake of San Francisco’s most deadly earthquake–and Suzanne Rindell’s most haunting novel since her acclaimed debut.” —Criminal Element

“The Two Mrs. Carlyles is a sometimes-spooky adventure novel with lots of unpredictable twists and engaging characters.” —Historical Novels Review

“Sizzles with tension from its first pages to its last . . . In a lushly imagined tribute to Daphne du Maurier and Charlotte Brontë, Rindell fills her historical Gold Coast with brooding bachelors, arsenic victims, and unquiet spirits.” —Lyndsay Faye, author of Jane Steele

“If you loved Rindell’s The Other Typist,  if you adored Jane Eyre, if you were riveted by Rebecca, you will be enthralled by The Two Mrs. Carlyles . . . Eerie and suspenseful . . . Rindell reminds her readers how quickly trust can be shattered.”—Amy Poeppel, author of Small Admissions

“Evil is endlessly imaginative and such dark fun, whether set in 1906 or today. The Two Mrs. Carlyles makes that abundantly clear.” —Rita Mae Brown, author of Rubyfruit Jungle and the Sneaky Pie mystery series
