The Black Book of Secrets by F.E. Higgins

4.0

What a surprise! I couldn't put this book down. The characters and their secrets were compelling and the whole idea of a secret pawnbroker was fresh. I think my students would love this because of the horrible behaviour of some of the characters, but these (grave robbing, tooth stealing, usury) are based in fact and explained at the end of the book in historical notes. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series.
