June 2015 Book of the Month.

This wonderfully intriguing and exciting historical mystery really packs a wallop. Although a sequel to ‘The Devil in the Marshalsea’ you can most definitely read it as a stand alone novel. The story starts just before the gallows is set to claim Tom Hawkins, then travels back in time to the events that saw him declared guilty of murder. Occasional shifts in time continue, ensuring that you feel Tom’s fear and his desperate hope that he will be saved before the rope begins its grisly business. There is a certain colour and luminosity to the writing, you just have to reach out and you are in the centre of these robust, bawdy, sometimes repellent times, that are so vividly described. It’s fascinating to read the history behind the novel at the end, you can feel the depth of care that the author has taken and the fascination she feels for this time period. So, bear witness to the manipulative, clever Queen Caroline, keep your hand on your money as you creep through St Giles and hope with all of your might that Tom and Kitty find their way through this dramatically enjoyable read. ~ Liz Robinson
