You don't read this book so much as follow the characters through the sights, smells and sounds of London. This twisting, story sees a baker's boy unwittingly caught up in international skulduggery and you see the colour and squalor of the city through his eyes. I love it when a book makes you forget where you are because you get so caught up in the atmosphere...

Conspiracy and murder lead to conflagration
Seventeenth century London convincingly conjured in a tense tale of murder and a plot to bring fire to the London of September 1666. Tom’s father owns a bakery in Pudding Lane but the enemy Tom makes while investigating Lizzie’s death is far more dangerous than the plague, or any amount of family tension.
