I really enjoyed the first four books in this series, so I'm very sad that this book and its predecessor didn't capture my interest in the same manner. Maybe it was too much of the "who will Lucy choose?" being drawn out for so long... I can't quite put my finger on it. ( ) Susanna Calkins' The Cry of the Hangman offers a satisfying read for those who enjoy historical mysteries with central female characters. The mystery itself isn't obvious, though one could wish for a few, more red herrings. Lucy Campion, a printer's "apprentice" (she hasn't been authorized by the guild) who plays the role of detective, continues a life that alternates among broadside selling, broadside writing, broadside printing—and being able to to take breaks in her apprenticeship every time she encounters mysterious circumstances. She also continues to juggle two admirers, one a detective, the other the son of a judge for whom she used to work as a maid, which allows for some exploration of class and social mobility. If you're looking for a weekend escape, this title would do nicely. I received a free electronic review copy of this title from the publisher via NetGalley; the opinions are my own. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

But what exactly was the intruder searching for? And why did they first stop to steal a piece of Cook's lamb and lentil pie? The puzzling case is just the start of a series of dark, bizarre crimes. Lucy's determined to uncover the truth and see that justice is done. But someone is equally determined to stop her â?? whatever it takes. This page-turning historical mystery set in Renaissance London is a great choice for readers who like their heroines lively, their mysteries twisty and their historical settings brimming with authent Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
