The cover illustration promises solid history enriched with contemporary detail and colour. The comments from other respected writers raise high expectations.
This first impression is reinforced by an exact date and very local maps as a foreword to our scene of action. This is a great start for anyone who enjoys a solid anchor to place and time from a writer renowned for good research and intelligent plotting.
The very first chapter plunges the reader into well-imagined scenes at a medieval manor with sharply drawn characters striking sparks from one another. I definitely want to read on.
