Critics Review
John Shakespeare is one of the great historical sleuths.
Good news for John Shakespeare fans - the Elizabethan Bond is back for his fourth and perhaps most compelling adventure … This condensation of almost thirteen years of history moves at a furious pace to provide a rumbustious read mixing fact with plenty of adventure, sex and violence with enough twists to confuse anyone but the most determined sleuth … This is very definitely another hit for award-winning author Rory Clements -
Clements can be seen doing for Elizabeth’s reign what CJ Sansom does for Henry VIII’s … What’s impressive in the latest is how much of Tudor society it crams in, from the court and Derby’s estate to outlaws and the soldiers in its concluding battle scenes - Sunday Times‘The best yet in Rory Clements’ magnificent series about John Shakespeare … As always, the historical detail is fascinating and sometimes delightfully obscure … another sumptuous feast that will leave you sated - but craving for the next helping!’ - CrimesquadI found this the best book in the series - Historical Novels ReviewThis is a first-class mystery steeped in authentic sixteenth-century intrigue; the evocation of the stench and squalor of Tudor London is sans pareil - Good Book GuideAbout The Author
