I really enjoyed E C Fremantle’s last book (The Poison Bed) and this didn’t disappoint either. Historical fiction is one of my favourite genres, and this is rich in historical detail, both in the way that people lived and their social attitudes. It’s great stuff!

DNF @ 32%.
This was a bit too historical for my liking, set in the time of jousting and the like--or so it feels--and I prefer my historical fiction/romances to be set in the time of balls and chaperones and poofy dresses, aka Regency.
I didn't really like the plotline too much with this either. I got really confused at the beginning and this didn't help me later on. I quickly lost interest until I finally decided to give it up as a DNF.

Martyr ( John Shakespeare book 1)
By Rory Clements
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This ingenious debut introduces John Shakespeare, Elizabethan England's most remarkable investigator, in a tale of conspiracy and murder that succeeds brilliantly as both historical fiction and crime thriller.
This is one of my favourite eras to read! I really enjoyed this book it was full of murder and intrigue in a very dark time especially if you were religious and on the wrong side. It’s definitely a book I recommend if you like historical fiction. It has some very interesting characters along the way.
