The Adventures of a Victorian Con Woman: The Life and Crimes of Mrs Gordon Baillie
by David Lassman, Mick Davis
adventurous
emotional
funny
informative
reflective
slow-paced
While I did enjoy this book, it did take me a few chapters to get into it. It felt like I was reading a history book in spots and it just dragged on. What I did love about the book was that her life felt almost like a good fiction. I also wonder if the writers for White Collar got their ideas from her life. This is something my aunt would love and I will tell her she would need to pick this up when it comes out. Mrs Gordon Baillie sounds like some men and women today, just imagine if she had the technologies we have today, how much trouble she could get into. I want to thank Netgalley and Pen & Sword History for letting me read this.
