Description
Murder awaits in the illuminated night of Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens ...
London, 1782, Caro Corsham finds a woman mortally wounded in the bowers of Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens.
When the constables discover that the deceased woman was a high-society lady of the night, they stop searching for her killer - and it's up to Caro to seek justice.
But the hidden corners of Georgian society are filled with artifice, deception and secrets, and finding the killer will be harder, and more treacherous, than she can know ...
From an award-winning new star of historical fiction, Daughters of Night reveals the dangerous underbelly of Georgian London - giving a voice to the female victims history so often forgets, and the women who remembered them.
Advance Praise
Praise for Blood & Sugar:
Laura Shepherd-Robinson has written a story that is not only a page-turner of a thriller but, to an extent unusual in historical novels, where you feel you really are listening to a voice from the eighteenth century. This is a world conveyed with convincing, terrible clarity’ C. J. Sansom
'A novel of astonishing skill' Financial Times
'A tightly plotted crime story with vivid details of Georgian England' Sunday Times
'Stunning . . . Blood & Sugar is a harrowing and brutal epic [that] shocks and thrills in equal measure' Express
'Enthralling' Daily Telegraph
'A searing, ingeniously constructed story' The Times
