Gallows Thief
by

Bernard Cornwell (Goodreads Author)

Sean's review

Sep 24, 2007

liked it

Decent historical adventure/mystery, obviously very well researched. Good characters and period detail are marred by an excess of sexual references/slang (nothing graphic, but it gets fairly crude) and an unsatisfying resolution. I'll try more of Cornwell's stuff in the future, but I don't _particularly_ recommend this one, despite an awesome hero.
