The Devil in the Marshalsea by Antonia Hodgson

4.0

An interesting historical crime novel set in a debtors prison in 1727. Where life conspires against Tom Hawkins to make it a battle to just survive the day. His only hope of survival and release from the living hell he has found himself in is to discover who murdered a man found hanging in a store room. There is a large mix of characters who are never what they seem and it all makes the task seem impossible.

It's a bit of a slow story in parts but is still enjoyable enough.
