'Marston is plainly on cracking form. The ratting and boxing scenes in the East End are positively Hogarthian in their depiction of filth and overcrowding; you can almost smell the squalor'Historical Novels Review
'With characteristic skill, Edward Marston draws the reader into a threatening historical underworld, where the hangman's shadow looms over the unwitting criminal'Good Book Guide
'It looks like Marston has another hit series on his hands'The Aberdeen Press and Journal
