» Mosse to pen gothic psychological thriller A new Kate Mosse novel its due to hit shelves on 11th September this year. Mosse’s publisher Orion has described The Taxidermist’s Daughter, set in 1912, as “a Gothic psychological thriller” featuring a series of grisly murders which rock a flood-beset village in west Sussex. Mosse seems to have got her inspiration from visiting the Walter Potter Museum of Curious Taxidermy in the 1970s. "Having finished my Languedoc Trilogy after 15 years of researching, planning and writing, the time was right to exchange the mountains of the Pyrenees for the creepy glass bells jars and grisly feather and fur displays of a taxidermist’s workshop," she said. Mosse's three Languedoc novels, Labyrinth, Sepulchre and Citadel, have together sold 1,869,861 copies through Nielsen BookScan, with Labyrinth's total numbering 1,206,859.
