This is the second book in The Jackdaw Mystery series that I have read, and again it was a really enjoyable read. Thanks to Reader's First for sending me an advance copy.
In this book, it is1594 and Nicholas has been accused of being part of a plot to execute the Queen. He and Bianca decide to leave England and head to the continent, where they meet a very religious woman named Hella, who joins them on their journey. But something about her makes the couple uneasy....
As with the previous Jackdaw book I have read, the historical details and research are clearly very thorough and well done, and add huge amounts to the story. I did find in some places that the details were almost too much, particularly around the scientific parts, but this may just be because I'm not much of a scientist!!
Although this is book four and there are references to earlier plots within it, I think that this could work well as a stand alone, and think fans of historical fiction would enjoy it. I'm hoping for a book 5!
