Review
"A characterful, page-turning drama and a vivid mixture of research and imagination" -- Nicolette Jones * The Sunday Times * "A thoroughly engaging and entirely convincing yarn with a dash of Dickens and more than a hint of historic realism to help drive the thrust of the narrative" -- Jake Hope * Achuka * "Full of adventure and excitement, unexpected plot twists and colourful characters, this book is both entertaining and enlightening" * Through the Looking Glass * "Twists and turns, mystery and mayhem together with fascinating details about 18th Century London. I found this a hugely exciting read" -- Mary Hooper "This is an exciting read . . . It's a good way of illustrating a period in an engaging way, and it does have a happy ending" * Write Away! *
