No reply necessary. I just wanted to say that I have just finished the gallows thief and loved it. I am a big fan of Deryn Lake who writes about the same period. Having worked in so many different party of the fabulous city of london, including the law courts at the old baily and royal courts of justice, I absolutely love having the history of those streets I know so well, brought to life. I shall read a Crowning Mercy now which I think is similar and will look out for any more of these from you. Many thanks for a really enjoyable read. Katie Dick
