— Review of An Uncommon Hangman : The Life and Deaths of Robert ‘Nosey Bob’ Howard Rachel Franks , 2022 single work biography

'How do you write a biography of someone who left no archive? This is the unenviable task Rachel Franks has set for herself in this tantalising biography and social history. Unlike other well-known figures of the criminal legal system, such as Victorian prison governor John Buckley Castieau, who left diaries across his 30-year term, executioner Robert Howard’s life is discovered only through the sensationalist press, sheriff’s reports of executions, coronial inquests on the bodies of those he killed, and the series of prisoners who walked his scaffold.'
