Girl. Mother. Assassin. How dangerous is a woman with nothing left to lose? Read the first explosive historical thriller from best-selling crime writer of the DI Callanach series, Helen Fields.

The year is 1905. London is a playground for the rich and a death trap for the poor. When Sofia Logan’s husband dies unexpectedly, leaving her penniless with two young children, she knows she will do anything to keep them from the workhouse. But can she bring herself to murder? Even if she has done it before… Emmet Vinsant, wealthy industrialist, offers Sofia a job in one of his gaming houses. He knows more about Sofia’s past than he has revealed. Brought up as part of a travelling fair, she’s an expert at counting cards and spotting cheats, and Vinsant puts her talents to good use. His demands on her grow until she finds herself with blood on her hands. Set against the backdrop of the Suffragette protests, with industry changing the face of the city but disease still rampant, and poverty the greatest threat of all, every decision you make is life or death. Either yours or someone else’s. Historical Mystery Suç Thriller & Suspense Victorian Kurgu Heyecan verici

A change of scene for Helen Fields, and one that I have looked forward to for some time. Great characters woven into a tale of several gory murders at the turn of the 20th century. The characters are brought to life by Robin Laing, one may recognise D I Callanac's voice in a previous incarnation, together with some new and quite evil characterisations. The historical political backdrop is omnipresent, but not too heavy. The storyline is solid enough, but not quite a 5 for me. I look forward to other new works from Helen Fields, although sometimes they are a bit too graphic and malevolent.

A New Departure, or departures.....

Having just discovered this author I was so excited to get stuck in to this book - felt disappointed to be honest. Had to keep rewinding chapters as my mind wandered off. It started off well - but just got too drawn out. As an animal lover - I found the graphic killing of them really unpleasant. Overall - not bad but Helen Fields has written so much better. I consider this a waste of a credit :(

Too long and drawn out

This book is a roller-coaster not so much owing to red herrings in the story but more the huge variation in behaviour of the main character, Sophia, who starts as a conventional housewife and loving mother who morphs into a monster. Alternating between the 1890s and the first decade of the 20th century describing Sophia's childhood and later marriage and motherhood. The early part of the story is Dickensian in its grimness, but later scenes are reminiscent of a Frederick Forsyth thriller. The story becomes more and more preposterous in the final hours of listening but is strangely gripping as I wondered what on Earth could happen next.
The narrator is excellent

Over the top at times but gripping
