Addicting, haunting and devious, The Birdcage Library invites the reader to uncover a heart-pounding story of entrapment and obsession, from the author of The Dictator's Wife, as seen on BBC2 Between the Covers.
1932. Emily Blackwood, a young adventuress and plant hunter, travels north for a curious new commission. A gentleman has written to request she catalogue his vast collection of taxidermied creatures before sale.
On arrival, Emily finds a ruined castle, its owner haunted by the memory of a woman who disappeared five decades before. And when she discovers the ripped pages of an old diary, crammed into the walls, she realises a dark secret lies here, waiting to entrap her too...
