Anne O'Brien recommends
thumb
The Lost Queen (2024)
Carol McGrath
"A compelling read... Well researched, elegantly written, with a deft touch for both romance and historical detail. The Lost Queen is a gripping historical drama to be savoured."
thumb
The Angel's Mark (2018)
(Nicholas Shelby, book 1)
S W Perry
"An impressively dramatic and gripping debut novel. Elegantly written, thoroughly researched, The Angel's Mark draws us into the murky world of Elizabethan London where life is a game of chance, and savage death a close neighbour, quick to pounce on the unsuspecting. I predict that we will be seeing much more of Nicholas Shelby, physician and reluctant spy."
