Another excellent book by S.W.Perry. The cover of the book immediately draws your eye with the flourishing script and pictures of sixteenth century London. I have read all the books in the series so far and have found each one brilliantly written. You can sense the danger of being in the limelight at the time and of holding any but the established views.
The leaders of the times each have their own factions and their spies, all over the world where necessary, and Nicholas Shelby, his family and friends become embroiled in life threatening situations of various kinds. He is a doctor with outspoken views who has been forced by circumstance beyond his control to become part of this network.
The story twists and turns so you do not know who to trust and I cannot guess the true nature of all of the characters until they are revealed at the very end.
This is another tale where tragedies are mixed with joyous events and intrigue. His books are ones I find difficult to put down once started and cannot wait for the next instalment.
