Anna Mazzola writes historical crime and gothic fiction centred on women, belief and the darker edges of legal or medical history. The Unseeing fictionalises a nineteenth-century murder case through a woman accused of involvement and the lawyer sent to investigate her, while The Story Keeper moves to the Isle of Skye, where folklore and missing women become entangled. The Clockwork Girl shifts to eighteenth-century Paris and the world of automata, anatomy and royal power. Mazzola's novels are atmospheric and suspenseful, but the settings are built from specific institutions and historical pressures rather than generic gothic scenery. These books sit naturally among historical mystery, gothic fiction and authors such as Laura Purcell and Stacey Halls. Read more Less
