The Last Confession of Thomas Hawkins is the second in the Thomas Hawkins series by Antonia Hodgson. It has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US. Per SYKM, the first title in this series, The Devil in the Marshalsea, won a Historical Dagger. I've had Marshalsea on my TBR list for a while, but haven't actually read it...now I need to read enough of it really fast to decide whether to get Confession while it's on sale...

Quote:
A lively tale of “pitch-perfect suspense” set in eighteenth-century England—one of Publishers Weekly’s Top Ten Crime/Mystery Novels of the Year.

Winner of the CWA Historical Dagger Award

London, 1728. Tom Hawkins is headed to the gallows, accused of murder. Gentlemen don’t hang, and Tom will be damned if he’s the first—he is innocent, after all.

It’s hard to say when Tom’s troubles began. He was happily living in sin with his beloved—though their neighbors weren’t happy about that. He probably shouldn’t have told London’s great criminal mastermind that he was in need of adventure. Nor should he have joined the king’s mistress in her fight against her vindictive husband. And he definitely shouldn’t have trusted the calculating Queen Caroline. She’s promised him a royal pardon if he holds his tongue, but there’s nothing more silent than a hanged man. Now Tom’s scrambling to save his life and protect those he loves. But as the noose tightens, his time is running out.
