Produktbeschreibung

Antonia Hodgson's debut novel THE DEVIL IN THE MARSHALSEA was a Richard & Judy Book Club pick, and was also shortlisted for the CWA John Creasey Dagger 2014. Antonia has received critical acclaim for her first two books and her newest historical crime novel promises to be another dark, witty and twisting ride. Praise for THE DEVIL IN THE MARSHALSEA 'Hodgson has a knack for convincing dialogue that crackles with period cadence and flavour.' Daily Mail 'Historical fiction just doesn't get any better than this. THE DEVIL IN THE MARSHALSEA offers up a riveting, fast-paced story, a richness of tone and a depth of detail that would put most academics to shame. And good Tom Hawkins is one of the best protagonists to come along in years. Magnificent!' Jeffery Deaver

Rezensionen

Through an admirable amount of research the award-winning author has used real people, events and settings to create a delightfully enjoyable standalone thriller. It crackles with wit and charm and cements Hawkins' place as the most lovable rogue in historical fiction. Daily Express
