Death at the Workhouse (Penny Green Victorian Mystery Series, Band 8)

Someone's preying on Victorian London's poor.

Something’s wrong at Shoreditch Workhouse and news reporter Penny is struggling to convince someone to listen. After spending time there undercover, she knows more can be done for the deserving poor. But does anyone else care?

When two workhouse inmates die in a fight, the police and the coroner accept the simplest explanation. Penny undertakes her own investigation with Inspector James Blakely’s help and it’s not long before they make themselves unpopular.

A macabre turn finally makes the authorities act, but can anyone stop the force behind the crimes?
