[edit] Reviews for Wicked Baby
Tara has the ability to creep under the skin of her subject matter without making judgements ... her bravery and her natural-born writer's empathy rewarded her with a novella that must be the most unique work of 'faction' that I have read this year. Binnacle Press
The simple factual tone blends the efficiency of journalism with the immediacy of fairytale ... the sweep across all the major figures convincingly portrays the atmosphere of the dawning of the Sixties. [[Trash Fiction]]
This is as fine an introduction to the Profumo Affair as you are ever likely to meet.Tregolwyn Book Reviews
Extremely well researched and written and, although it is fiction, stays close to real events. Publish And Be Damned
