About this listen

It is the year 1715, and Thomas True has arrived on old London Bridge with a dangerous secret. One night, lost amongst the squalor of London's hidden back streets, he finds himself drawn into the outrageous underworld of the molly houses.

Meanwhile, carpenter Gabriel Griffin struggles to hide his double life as Lotty, the mollies' silent guard. When the queen of all 'he-harlots', Mother Clap, confides in him about a deadly threat, he realises his friends are facing imminent execution. To the horror of all mollies, there is a rat amongst them, betraying their secrets to a pair of murderous Justices, hell-bent on punishing sinners with the noose.

Can Gabriel unmask the traitor before it's too late? Can he save hapless Thomas from peril, and their own impossible love?

Loved the characterisation and historical accuracy. Very well researched. Both moving and humorous with an unexpected twist

I had already read the novel and fell in love with the characters, so decided to see what the audio book was like, to see if the characters became more 3 dimensional. I have to say that the narrator did a perfect job on this. I loved the change in voices as each character came to the front. I highly recommend this novel in hardback, ebook or audio book. A beautifully written story. I look forward to the authors next read.

But absolutely loved every minute of it. A thriller. A love story. Amazing. A jolly jape around 16th/17th century London.

Not my usual type of book…

I liked the story line, how it swept you along in the times of 1600s.

The narrator had a voice for all the characters
