$15.99
Published by Nick Hern Books
9 Male 4 Female
1912
In an isolated house on the Sussex salt marshes, Connie Gifford lives with her father
Robbed of her childhood memories by a mysterious accident, she is haunted by fitful glimpses of her past – whilst her father has become a broken man, taking refuge in the bottle, since the closure of his once-legendary Museum of Avian Taxidermy
A strange woman has been seen in the graveyard – and a few miles away, two patients have, inexplicably, disappeared from the local asylum
As a major storm hits the coastline, old wounds are about to be opened as one woman, intent on revenge, attempts to liberate another from the horrifying crimes of the past
The Taxidermist’s Daughter is a thrilling Gothic story of violence, retribution and justice, adapted for the stage by Kate Mosse from her own internationally best-selling novel, and first performed at Chichester Festival Theatre in 2022
