The Jackdaw mysteries is a gripping series of books although their base is in London you will find yourself travelling to many far away places in the sixteenth century. This is the fourth book in the series and only the second I have read so far. Although there is a thread going through the series and the main characters are the same their story develops so I didn't feel as though I had to start at the beginning as everything was recalled through the book in a subtle way. The Heretic's Mark continues to be full of adventure and was impossible to put down. The characters are written so well that they jump of the pages. In this story they travel to Bianca's home country of Padua. Nicholas has to escape London while he tries to prove his innocence over the plot to kill the Queen. But as usual they are not going to have a quiet life while hiding. A great read.
