The Prince, The Princess and the Perfect Murder

Iain Finlayson, The Times

'...fascinating...Andrew Rose was himself a judge and his lengthy account of the trial is magnificent.'
Selina Hastings, The Spectator

The Woman before Wallis

'Downton Abbey will seem pretty tame after [The Woman before Wallis]'
Billy Heller, New York Post

'...extraordinary details...highly evocative..a fascinating book full of wonderful period detail....required reading for students of the British monarchy's most reviled individual.'
Tom Sykes, The Daily Beast

'A really dishy read...meticulously researched...captures the opulence, pomposity and peccadilloes of the aristocracy that flourished on both sides of the Channel'
Sandra McElwaine, Washington Times

Moira Hodgson, Wall Street Journal

Scandal at the Savoy

Jonathan Keates, Observer

'A vivid account of this drama of life and death...with a background of postwar decadence and extravagance.'
Diana Mosley, Sunday Telegraph

'A judicious eye...the basic key to the success of this book...is Rose's fascination with the Twenties and his justifiable suspicion that, in the matter of the encounter between West and East, the period continues to be only too relevant'
Marek Kohn, Independent

'This splendidly well written and constructed book'
