Summary

London 1885. Something's not right at Shoreditch Workhouse and reporter Penny Green is struggling to convince someone to listen. After spending time there undercover, she knows that more can be done for the deserving poor beneath its roof. But does anyone else care?

When two workhouse inmates die in a fight, the police and the coroner accept the simplest explanation. Penny undertakes her own investigation with Inspector James Blakely's help and it's not long before they make themselves unpopular.

A macabre turn finally makes the authorities act, but can anyone stop the force behind the crimes?

Good story, narration was stilted at times

Found myself wanting the end of the book to come quicker. The storyline was ok but the performance wasn't natural and there was some annoying errors, like reading the speech attributions in the characters accent rather than the narrator's.
