The Saracen’s Mark is the third book in the Nicholas Shelby and Bianca Merton series set in the late 1500s England.
Set to a background of pestilence and conspiracy this is a very engaging and enjoyable historical fiction book that kept me hooked from the first page until the last one.
The author, S. W. Perry, clearly knows his subject and he brings sixteenth century London to life without drowning out the underlying storyline.
Shelby is requested by the Queen’s spymaster, Robert Cecil, to undertake a difficult and dangerous mission overseas whilst Merton has to fight both the plague and other threats at home.
There are a number of twists and turns throughout this novel which is definitely one that I would fully recommend.
