Review title: Intelligent and wicked sequel to Dangerous Liaisons
Product review: In the "Factory of Cunning" Philippa Stockley manages to achieve success in a tough project. She takes Madame de Merteuil in her hand and gives her a voice that is both new and true to her Laclos roots. Although we do not have an equally amusing and equally heartless Valmont here, we have a more dangerous sociopath to curdle our blood: Earl Much. Stockley weaves a clever, cruel story which is more English than French this time and Merteuil fits in London almost as perfectly as in Paris.Most of the time sequels to popular classics are big fat failures and I confess I did not have my hopes high on this book. I have to say that I was very happily surprised and I recommend it to all Laclos fans.
