About this listen
But all is not as it seems in the rowdy, merry court of Charles II. Since the Restoration, old political alliances have frayed, and there are whispers that the king is moving to divorce his barren queen, who some wouldn't mind seeing dead. But Alice, loyal only to a select few, is devoted to the queen, and so sets out to discover who might be making sinister plans, and if her own father is one of them. When a member of the royal family dies unexpectedly, and poison is suspected, the stakes are raised. Alice steps up her efforts to find out who is and isn't true to the queen, learns of shocking betrayals throughout the court, and meets a man she may be falling in love with and who may spoil all of her plans. With the suspected arrival of a known poison-maker, the atmosphere in the court electrifies, and suddenly the safety of the king himself seems uncertain. Secret plots are at play, and war is on the horizon, but will it be with the Dutch or the French? And has King Charles himself betrayed his country for greed?
The long-awaited prequel to Koen's beloved Through a Glass Darkly, Dark Angels is a feast of a novel that sparkles with all the passion, extravagance, danger, and scandal of 17th-century England.

Escapism
I took this book on holiday with me and found it to be everything I expected. If you enjoy a good story if a little predictable this book entertains and keeps you listening. The characters are engaging and easy to imagine. It made good holiday reading, if you are looking for an intellectual read this is not it.

Teen fiction but not.
Would have loved elements of this as a 13 year old but it isn't meant for such a young audience so don't be fooled. Maybe if you are not familiar with the period or history at all, this would be entertaining but I found it quite over-explained and repetitive. Light relief. Nothing wrong with that.
