A lovely novel which I hugely enjoyed. I envy Karen Swan's skill to evoke a landscape and a very different past so effortlessly. The love story was all that one would wish and the characters are terrific. -- Elizabeth Buchan, author of Against Her Nature

This sweeping love story gripped us from the start, so we can’t wait for the next in the series. Best historical romance. -- Independent on The Last Summer

Meticulously researched and beautifully told by one of our most prolific and talented writers. It contains all the ingredients of a wonderfully satisfying read: love, passion, drama, violence, menace and peril, and characters you fall in love with. -- Santa Montefiore, author of Flappy Investigates on The Last Summer

Immaculately researched and told with the exciting sense of time and place, The Lost Lover once again brings vibrant life to the fascinating island of St Kilda . . . and with another jaw-dropping, trademark cliffhanger leaving Swan’s addicted readers already counting down to the final, thrilling trip to St Kilda, this passion-filled four-book odyssey – with its exhilarating backdrop, core murder mystery, and torrid tales of loves lost and found. - The Lancashire Post
