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.

PageturnerSpannendVerdrietigOnvoorspelbaarMindblowingThis book is something like no other that I have ever read. I was way out of my comfort zone listening to the reader telling the story of how and what one woman went through to survive. Well done to all in the making of this book.

SaaiVerschrikkelijk irritant. Na de duizendste innerlijke discussie met zichzelf dat ze nu toch echt zal stoppen met gokken ben ik afgehaakt. De rest van het verhaal ligt eronder verstopt maar ik kon het niet meer vinden. Voor de derde keer (en nu definitief) afgehaakt. Jammer, want Helen Fields is weergaloos in haar Callanach-serie, om over Robin Laing maar te zwijgen.

VoorspelbaarThe only book of Helen Fields I've put on 1.5x reading speed just to get it over with. Fields is brilliant writer but this is not my fvourite of hers. In the story we follow Sophia, who makes a series of bad decisions. It was a bit predictable which I can never say of Fields' other books.

Zet aan tot denkenDoordachtTook me a while to get into it. I like the setting, an interesting read. However, not the pager urn er I hoped it would be.
