The Somnambulist by Essie Fox is a Victorian gothic mystery – a spellbinding tale of lost love, murder and madness that sweeps from the boisterous music halls of London's East End to a desolate Herefordshire mansion as seventeen-year old Phoebe Turner embarks on a journey to unlock the darkest of family secrets...

The Somnambulist was chosen by Channel 4's TV Book Club as one of the Best Reads of 2012.
