Hi guys!
I didn't get to see season one (I'm a student without a TV so I miss a lot!) But I'm loving season two!
Just wanted to know if anyone is aware of this series being based on a book? Or if there are any good books out there about William Garrow? Fiction or Non-fiction, either way. My mum is really into the show and wants to know more about him, and she loves history and historial fiction, so thought it might be a good christmas gift!
Any recommendations helpful!
There is a book, by John Hostettler and Richard Braby.
I'm afraid this book is a bit dry...and the facts were changed by the authors of the TV-series for dramatical purposes.
There is a favourable Youtube review of the above book on this website:

If you can't be a good example -- then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.
I will try to read the book(s) when I can.
In the mean time, I really want to say I like this TV series every much.
From the Cast section:
