The Ivy Tree The utterly escapist and gripping mystery and suspense novel from the Queen of Romantic Mystery

'The Ivy Tree has the ideal thriller blend of plot, suspense, character drawing and good writing' -- Daily Express 'Mary Stewart harvests a rewarding field. Her credible heroines get caught up in credible adventures; her place is deceptively gentle; her atmosphere perfect' -- Evening Standard 'She set the bench mark for pace, suspense and romance - with a great dollop of escapism as the icing' -- Elizabeth Buchan 'A comfortable chair and a Mary Stewart: total heaven. I'd rather read her than most other authors.' -- Harriet Evans
