A review by cassie_ellie
The Fatal Tree by Jake Arnott

4.0

As a lover of all things history (especially to do with historical crime), I really enjoyed this book. Bess was a likeable (for all her faults) character and the Thief-taker General makes a good villain. The only small drawback would be the slang - I enjoyed it and it gave Bess that little bit more voice, but it could also get in the way at times as I had to flip to the back to find the translations.

All in all, I loved this book and will probably reread it in the not so distant future.
