A review by ababoglo
Liars and Thieves by Karen Maitland

4.0

A grimdark his-fic novella set during the times of Black Death in England. Features characters from The Company of Liars and pitches them against a band of robbers.

Atmospheric, dark, historically honest. Works well as a taster if you (like me) are trying to decide whether to pick up one of the author’s lengthier novels.

Overall very curious short read. But I am still a bit ‘on a fence’ if i want more now or not. 3.5 ⭐️
