Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The devastating and thought-provoking tale about female anger, subservience and, ultimately, strength, inspired by a true story.
London, 1841.
Two hundred Englishwomen file aboard the Rajah, the ship that will take them on a three-month voyage to the other side of the world.
They're daughters, sisters, mothers - and convicts. Transported for petty crimes.
Except one of their number is a secret killer, fleeing justice.
When a woman is mortally wounded, the hunt is on for the culprit. But who would attack one of their own, and why?
Based on a true story, Dangerous Women is a sweeping tale of confinement, loss, love and, above all, hope in the unlikeliest of places.

The weaving of fact and fiction makes for an intriguing story
An interesting, historical fiction weaved into a whodunnit. Told from the prospective of only the women from the ship on their voyage to Van Diemen’s Land. Imagery is so clear you feel as if you can see what the characters see.
Narrator does an amazing job of all the different accents…book is worth a listen to for those alone, but the story is great as well

Bottom line: Find a different book to read
This book started out as a promising mystery, but ended as a poor romance with a predictably banal plot line. Honestly it was even cringe-worthy at times, and felt almost like the author got bored of writing halfway through and wanted to finish it asap.
