GOOD BOOK
Be prepared to tear up, I did. This work is so powerful! Its historical fiction that takes place during world war 2(loosely based on actual resistance fighting events i believe). Well worth reading! (I dont want to spoil it)

I had never read historical fiction before. This was a present so I have it a go and my god did I love it. Needless to say, Mrs Gregory has a new fan and I will be raiding the rest of her books.

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.

Wonderful Historical Fiction
This book had me gripped from beginning to end. It was a very different look into WW2 and Hitler. I found myself unable to put this book down. Highly recommend. It was a quick amd easy read, yet I thoroughly enjoyed it.
