dragons1966's review
4.0
I am very much enjoying this series about Hugh Monsarrat and his friend/ housekeeper Hannah Mulrooney, both of them having been sent to New South Wales as convicts. This book, the fourth in the series, is essentially about freedom of the press, a very timely subject for discussion in our country at the moment. I highly recommend this series for anyone interested in the early history of Australia and also anyone who enjoys a good story involving crime in a historical setting.

Wonderful historical writing examines the freedom of the press in colonial NSW, making it scarily topical.
