Anne O'Brien recommends

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."

Mistress Cromwell (2017)
Carol McGrath
"Step into the intimate world of Thomas Cromwell as seen through the eyes of his wife, Elizabeth."
