The love triangle is really starting to wear thin, and Lucy spent a good portion of this book talking to herself (especially when she was decoding ciphers...) I also figured out the mystery fairly early on, which took away some of my enjoyment too. (

November 1667. On her way to market, Lucy Campion, printer's apprentice, comes across a body hanging from the 'hanging tree' on Drury Lane. Did the two men she had recently saw be involved. Who is he, and what is the motive, and what have ciphers to do with his death. Lucy and Constable Duncan investigate. Though it does take Lucy overly long to work out the guilty party.
Overall an enjoyable historical mystery and romance.
An ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. (

Fifth entry in this historical fiction set in London in 1667. The history portion is set after the plague and great fire that changed London. The author includes a well researched section on coded messages and beliefs of the period. The murder mystery basis was a bit contrived and strained belief that the crime would be investigated.
Entertaining change of pace. (

My review of this title is very much based in my genre preferences. I love period mysteries. I loathe period romances. The Sign of the Gallows is both. If, like me, you enjoy your mysteries "straight," this probably isn't a good title for you. If you enjoy mysteries that include a central female character chossing among suitors while solving a mystery, you should find this title quite enjoyable. (
