The Burial Plot Summary

The Burial Plot: The bewitching, seductive gothic thriller from the author of The Doll Factory by Elizabeth Macneal

From Elizabeth Macneal, the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Doll Factory, The Burial Plot is a spellbinding Gothic thriller about murder and manipulation.

London, 1839. With the cemeteries full and money to be made in death, tricksters Crawford and Bonnie survive on wicked schemes and ill-gotten coin. But one blistering evening, their fortunes flip. A man lies in a pool of blood at Bonnies feet and now she needs to disappear.

Crawford secures her a position as ladys maid in a grand house on the Thames. As Bonnie comes to understand the family the eccentric Mr Moncrieff, obsessively drawing mausoleums for his dead wife, and their peculiar daughter Cissie, scribbling imaginary love letters to herself she begins to question what secrets are lying behind the houses paper-thin walls and whether her own presence here was planned from the beginning.

Because Crawford is watching, and perhaps he is plotting his greatest trick yet . . .

You know the books everyone loves? Wuthering Heights, And Then There Were None, I Capture the Castle? The Burial Plot deserves a spot right alongside them . . .

The Burial Plot is a masterclass in gothic storytelling. I was completely gripped from the first page, the period detail is utterly immersive and the tale Elizabeth MacNeal weaves is so dark, rich and compelling.

And the finale of the novel is just fabulous - it gave me chills -- Elodie Harper, author of The Wolf Den
Gripping, taut, elegantly-written and full of richly-researched period detail, The Burial Plot is exactly what a gothic should be: thrilling. -- Rebecca Stott
