Review
Enjoyable, bloody and brutish. * Guardian * A world spiced with delicious characters . . . The novel wears its historical learning lightly, and Clements seasons it with romance and humour. * Mail on Sunday * Sixteenth-century London comes alive in all its tawdriness. * Daily Mail * An exuberant plot and dialogue that hums with Elizabethan slang, profanity and wit ....Clements delivers a bawdy, engaging romp of book. * The Times *
