"Brilliant narrative voice full of period slang and convincing historical detail. The suspenseful denouement is genuinely gripping. A must-read if you enjoyed the first book, and I would recommend the series if you have an interest in history, crime or the macabre, or just appreciate excellent writing." -Goodreads, 5*"Richly Atmospheric, Grim, and Gritty! Well researched, and a storyline that, whilst grim and gritty, was also peppered with lots of humour, this is another winner for Siôn Scott-Wilson." -Goodreads, 5*"An adventure in 18th C London, with a clock-ticking conclusion ... A beautiful book" -Goodreads, 5*"A brilliantly entertaining and fun read. A good story, rich details and unforgettable characters make this a highly recommended read." -Goodreads, 5*"Cracking historical fiction - a five-star read! Easily one of my new favourites in the historical fiction genre, author Siôn Scott-Wilson’s follow-up to ‘Some Rise by Sin’ has left me wanting more – I was reluctant to leave behind ‘What We Leave Behind’. Is there another in the pipeline? You cannot possibly end there, Mr S-W, that would be a travesty, I tell you! *shakes fist*"
