The Blurb On The Back:
In the murky underworld of nineteenth-century London, certain questions needed to be asked.
Just why was the Bishop’s cake laced with dope?
Exactly which little Lawless sister was giving orders from the big chair?
What was so triumphant about Grandpa George’s loins?
Who might have ended up as sausage meat?
And what, precisely, was the dreaded “Umbrella Treatment”?
The answers lie between the covers of THE SCANDALOUS LIFE OF THE LAWLESS SISTERS, a tale of murder, robbery, betrayal and the unlicensed use of an electric garter.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The only bad thing about this book is the price, which doesn’t make for a cost-effective read. That said, Ardagh’s humour is deliciously dry and I found myself chuckling for the 30 minutes it takes to finish the story.
