Rory Clements again brings to life the dark side of Elizabethan England - Daily Mail[John Shakespeare] makes a plausible and likeable hero for tales of Elizabethan espionage. The Queen’s Man is the sixth book to feature him and is set before the others, providing an engaging account of his introduction to the murky underworld of deceit and double-dealing over which Walsingham presides. It mixes a fast-moving plot and credible characterisation with a lively evocation of the dangerous times in which John must strive, in every sense, to keep his head. - BBC History MagazineAn exciting, well-plotted adventure investigation with twists, turns and believable, well-created characters. Highly enjoyable and highly recommended. - Historical Novels ReviewPraise for the John Shakespeare series:Enjoyable, bloody and brutish - GuardianI could not tear myself away - Daily MailReal quality … faster moving than C J Sansom - Front Row, Radio 4GOOD HOUSEKEEPING READER RECOMMENDS: I could not put down THE QUEEN’S MAN by Rory Clements - Good Housekeeping ‘Reader Recommends’About The Author
