Doctor Nicholas Shelby returns in S W Perry's The Serpent's Mark and is a very enjoyable historical crime and spy thriller.

In The Serpent's Mark Shelby is once again recruited by Robert Cecil to spy on a Swiss doctor who isn't exactly what he claims to be.

As Shelby uncovers the secrets he realises that there may be a serious threat to the Queen and to the country.

Shelby and his close friend Bianca Merton then face a race against time to uncover the truth and to prevent a potential overthrow of the Crown.

The book is set in Elizabethan England and the author cleverly uses his knowledge and research to give the book a feeling of authenticity whilst managing to avoid becoming bogged down.

Overall this is becoming an excellent series and one I thoroughly enjoy
