Summary

Treason, heresy and revolt in Queen Elizabeth's England...

The year is 1600. With a dying queen on the throne, war raging on the high seas and famine on the rise, England is on the brink of chaos. And in London's dark alleyways, a conspiracy is brewing. In the court's desperate bid to silence it, an innocent man is found guilty—the father of Nicholas Shelby, physician and spy. As Nicholas races against time to save his father, he and his wife Bianca are drawn into the centre of a treacherous plot against the queen.

When one of Shakespeare's boy actors goes missing, and Bianca discovers a disturbing painting that could be a clue, she embarks on her own investigation. Meanwhile, as Nicholas comes closer to unveiling the real conspirator, the men who wish to silence him are multiplying. When he stumbles on a plan to overthrow the state and replace it with a terrifying new order, he may be forced to make a decision between his country and his heart...

A great historical mystery

I enjoyed this book. The descriptions of London as it would have been then were fascinating and I really like the narrator

Not disappointed

I’ve listened to every single one of S W Perrys books and I have to say it is hard to have a favourite as they are all brilliantly written and narrated in equal
Measure.
I’m looking forward to the finding out what Nicholas and Bianca have in store for their next “adventure”. Roll on the next book.

A good story, but a little unbelievable

Generally good, but the narrator has a cadence and intonation that can be a bit irritating, it makes the main character seem a bit whiny or patronising at times.

Weakest of them in my opinion

Plot is somewhat creaky and the denouement is poor. Having said that the sense of being amongst it all is very strong and it’s nice to see a lot of characters vom together from previous books in the series.
