I loved the style of this book, the way the writer had used a pastiche of each of the eras it's set in: Georgian, in letters between the characters and diary entries, Victorian, a third-person novel with bold themes and wonderful scenery description, and a hint of the supernatural; present day, a snappier, more casual style. I thought the plotting was so clever, following the painting through the centuries (I learned a lot about art too), and linking the characters - all that really kept me engaged with the story. When I got to the end I wanted to read it all again and find the clues I'd missed, and I loved the surprise at the end - I didn't see that coming. I found each of the three stories moving in a different way: I believed in all the characters, and wanted things to end well for them.
'A gripping mystery... sweeping across centuries in its three interlinked sections, Molly & the Captain summons the past effortlessly' Observer
A celebrated artist of the Georgian era paints his two young daughters at the family home in Bath. The portrait, known as "Molly & the Captain", becomes instantly famous. In the summer of 1889, a young painter glimpses a mother at play with her two daughters in Kensington Gardens and decides to include them in his picture. A century later, in Kentish Town, a painter and her grown-up daughters receive news of an ancestor linking them to the long-vanished double…
It is April 1st, 2038. Day 60 of China's blockade of the rebel island of Taiwan.

This crime/fantasy blend swept me in straight away, with the brooding cop called to investigate a bizarre crime scene. I don't dare say any more: you need to read it and find out for yourself. I was a bit worried whether the fantasy element would work - after all, how can you guess what motive an alien might have. I shouldn't have worried; just as in a conventional crime novel, we had all the clues. I loved the originality of the plot and the humour in the writing, especially Abidemi's 20s slang and her attempts to make sense of our world, and Holly's attempts to make sense of Abidemi. Dazzlingly original, and the ending had me in tears.
