Hilda Hastings gives birth in shame, but when John Rust proposes marriage, it seems her son can only benefit. But even as a child, Alfred is discontented. In his quest to become prosperous and with an obsessive desire to own Ridley Hall and its estate, he cheats his wife, takes a mistress and schemes his way to amassing great wealth. Vain, extravagant and with a penchant for the seedy, he is not only wicked, but crafty as well. Yet, as he acquires money so he loses it and when his debts threaten to overwhelm him, he concocts one last plan. But will the woman he trusts provide him with an alibi?

Review 'A brilliant novel!' Derek James, Eastern Daily Press
About the Author Margaret Callow came to writing novels late. Discovering her interest in the social history of England, she researched the ordinary people of the day who fought to improve the conditions for the working man which we enjoy today and her novels are a result of this fascination for the past. Margaret is also an extensively published poet. She is currently working on a trilogy of novels dealing with English rebellions from the 14th to the 17th century.

All she has left is a blurred image of the man she loves and a savior she must marry. Soon she will mistress of her own house. The story arc is so intriguing I wanted to know more about John Rust, about his quiet strength and compassion. But it’s young Alfred that gets my attention, resourceful and precocious. A sugar mouse or a sixpence? Young Alfred will go far, especially if he shares secrets with statues.Like all boys, Alfred craves the acceptance of his father. But his father is far too busy in his own world to pay any attention to him, unless a visit to Rust & Son is anything to go by. We follow Alfred through the years, his ruthless drive, his dreams, his introspection, and a sudden willingness to change. And what a metamorphosis. Retaining his skillful art of trade, our ever watchful Alfred pays a visit at last to Ridley Hall, the prize for which he persistently yearns. Will his daydreams turn into a reality? A thruppence to a groat and then a shilling. Inflation. Alfred is on the rise.I would like to have been present during Alfred’s courting of Margery between Chapters 8 and 9, but the chapters that follow certainly make up for the gap. At a galloping pace, we see Alfred rising higher and higher, although I can’t help wondering if there will be a teetering of that pedestal.Callow has a rare skill at utilizing the English language at its best. Pug-like features, the bleak hostility of the Stiffkey Marshes, all yellow teeth and narrow in the bones of his skull, not to mention Gotts & Nephew, the ironmongers (I was almost beside myself at this point). The plot thickens to such fever pitch when we meet Eloise that from then on, I couldn't put it down. It was an ending I wasn't expecting.I go back to Callow's books with no risk of boredom, her plots are immaculate and I always find myself completely caught up in the witty observances of the time. Her characters give her books a particular charm and we know we’re in for another timeless treat.

By Alexie Aaron There are many reasons Alfred Rust graced the Chamber of Horrors at Tussauds for over 70 years. All readers are invited to allow Margaret Callow to describe them with forensic precision and her artful narrative talents.Judging from the author's psychological treatment of Mr. Rust, I dare say the scoundrel himself would be much impressed with her colorful description of his despicable life.There's a delightful bit of irony at the end, too, so the readers can cleanse their palates after consuming tale after distasteful tale of his treachery and cunning.I have been a fan of this author for years. Her ability to draw me into the story is magical.

Fictionalized Version of an Infamous Crime By Reader's Hollow First of all I have to say I found this story quite compelling; from the beginning of the protagonist Alfred's life to the end of the story. I was interested in what was going to take place next in this twisted man's plans. Not that this was written as an action-packed thriller by any means but Alfred's plotting alone kept me interested. The characters were written well enough that I got a true feel of their personalities but it was the character building of Alfred that I must commend most. It was so well done that I truly despise the guy and very few characters that I have read have been able to bring such dislike from me. To describe him I think to use anything less than deplorable and vile would be too lenient. It is because of this disdain I gained that I was curious to continue on. If there is one thing that I'd suggest for the characters, and it is only small, is for the character Eloise. From when she meets Alfred to where she becomes more timid I would have appreciated something, even an internal dialogue with herself, acknowledging this change in her character and maybe a reason why instead of it feeling so abrupt.The setting of the story was also very well done in that the writing was successful in keeping me in the era enough that I was able to easily picture the characters and buildings as I read. What intrigues me most is that this character was influenced by an actual murderer, as the author says "fictionalized version of an infamous crime" named James Bloomfield Rush. Interestingly, for his crime Rush was hanged and Charles Dickens himself even attended the execution and the mask is something that Rush was buried with; a painted plaster death mask. These tiny facts are pieces that I found intriguing after I read the body of the story and into the added factorial references. -- REVIEWED by Danika Jayde from The Reader's Hollow Blog
