The Sign of the Gallows by Susanna Calkins
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

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.
