A review by eososray
Jack, Knave and Fool by Bruce Alexander
5.0
When a lord unexpectedly dies at a concert, Sir John and Jeremy immediately look for foul play. But the murderer seems to have covered his tracks to well. And when a head is fished out of the Thames it is imperative to identify it before a proper investigation can begin.
It's fascinating to get an idea how brutal it was to be poor in this era and how lawless the streets could be. I constantly find that my impressions of this era and city have been formed by the rich and genteel, and they were really a very small part of the population.
The author has done another fabulous job of bringing the street of 1770's London to life without drowning you in details and extra information.
