Comment
Add a CommentI liked this one as you have spies, Catholics on the run, a dash of Shakespeare and adventure. I think the only drawback was the resolution at the end as bits were slightly unbelievable, but overall, a satisfying historical tale.
A historical romance for teens with spies and a dash of Shakespeare added in.
A bit of a let-down - I'd been waiting for this one, and while the story was entertaining enough, the protagonists just didn't feel realistic for the period, and certain issues (including sexual preferences) were treated much more lightly than is believable.
This book was very different from all the other books I’ve read. It’s more of a crime investigation than a mystery book. Lady Katherine's father was killed for being an illegally practicing Catholic, she discovers that he was also involved in a murder plot against the reigning Queen Elizabeth I. So Katherine disguises herself as a boy and travels to London to fulfill her father's mission, and she’ll do whatever it takes to kill the queen herself. I really recommend this book.:) Rating 3/5 stars
