This is a tale of religious conflict, of zealots and fanatics, Nicholas is again in danger as he delves into the mystery. A beautifully written, slow burn of a tale that brings to life the Elizabethan age in all its, at times dark, glory. Great characters and a clever, engaging plot….If you enjoy historical fiction with an edge, then you love this.

@Tove_Reads and @EadieB This book looks really interesting and says ‘novel to rival C J Sansom‘ which is what caught my interest. It does say debut novel but this is the second book in the Nicholas Shelby Series. Book 1, The Angel‘s Mark has a rating of 4.29 on Goodreads.

EadieB @Andrew65 That‘s interesting! Looks good! 5y

Tove_Reads Sounds good! Now I remember that we have not set a date for the second Parris. 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 You can do Litsy on your computer now: https://www.litsy.com/web/home 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB Yes I had seen that. I actually like the simplicity (and quickness) of using it as an App. Hopefully being on the internet doesn‘t change the feel of Litsy world. 5y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Would most probably have to be in June for me. @EadieB (edited) 5y
