Status Updates From The Devil in the Marshalsea...

I had never been so poor in my life, and yet here I was, the very picture of an eligible young gentleman. I would marry myself if I could.

The pace has picked up and the plot has become more interesting. Might stick with it after all.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Great writing and story.

This is taking its time to grab me; so far I'm not enjoying it anywhere near as much as I'd expected to. Let's see if that changes further in.

I like her writing style.

When the reading doldrums hit, read a great historical fiction book! My new motto. So far, this one is fantastic

It's a good, rollicking historical story--accurate on the detail and although none of the characters really establish themselves as much more than cyphers the pace is such that that doesn't really matter.

I liked the limited time to solve the mystery and did figure out the culprits but the ride was nice

I did not expect this book to move so fast, but it really does. Interesting plot, totally baffled where it might lead. Very into it.

Loving this gritty story! Can't believe I have to leave it behind before my trip as it is a hardback and signed by author...

The atmosphere in this book is unbelievably thick. I can smell London and all her grimy inhabitants. I think her untried protagonist is going to become The Devil in The Marshalsea.

I am suffering because our protagonist is locked inside the Strong Room !!! last night I had to put the book down and I was yelling NOOOOOOOO !! It can not be....Super book !!!!!!!
Well my dear friends... I finish the book last night, and I will post the review on the 11 of July, but he book is great!

Almost done I think I will finish tonight, the book is a great reading, put my review on the 11 of July

Past the halfway point! Really hoping to finish today – I need to find out what happens!

I'm loving this story! It's like Law & Order circa the 1700s.

This book is so fun and interesting!

Really enjoying this so far! If eel like I watching a movie!

This was very good. A very realistic portrait of life (and mostly death) in the Marshalsea in the 1700s. Very scary.
I am sad that the author decided to kill a wonderful character that I was looking forward to meet again in the next 10 books or so. Oh well... Very recommended.

I wondered if it were possible to keep my dignity while hiding under the bed.

‘A proper education. History, natural philosophy, languages. Trade. He’s promised that when we’re done there won’t be a single man in England who’ll marry me.’

So far, extra cookie points to the author for mentioning some book titled Venus in the Convent as part of her research for 1700s vocabulary :D
