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.

TW: boken innehåller grovt sexuellt våld som är väldigt jobbigt att lyssna på. Huvudkaraktären vad svår att tycka om. Brukar gilla Helen Fields men denna var inte lik Perfect-serien

Absolutely fantastic and horrific story, but still a believable document of how terrible women have been treated in history.Even if it is better now the fight must go on.And thank you Robin Laing, you are the best.

It was ok but I felt it was a bit too predictable

Hade en obehagskänsla genom hela boken. Annorlunda perspektiv.
