Win proof copies of Dangerous Women for your reading group

Michael Joseph is excited to offer 5 reading groups 10 proof copies of Hope Adam’s epic sea voyage to read and review ahead of publication day on 4 March.

About the book

London, 1841. The Rajah sails for Australia. On board are 180 women convicted of petty crimes. Daughters, sisters, mothers – they’ll never see home or family again. Despised and damned, they have only one another.

Until the murder.

As the fearful hunt for a killer begins, everyone on board is a suspect . . .

Based on a real-life voyage, Dangerous Women is a sweeping tale of confinement, hope and the terrible things we do to survive.

‘Beautifully written, Hope Adams has woven together an epic sea voyage with an intriguing murder mystery to make an unputdownable read’ – Katie Fforde
