The King's Deception (Cotton Malone, #8)
10
10.0 (1 Ratings)

As usual Steve Berry does not disappoint!! Cotton Malone is one of my very favorite fictional characters & just like the man who thought him up, he never lets the reader down either.
This installment deals with Henry VIII & a supposed secret he passed on while on his deathbed, a secret that if proven true could decimate the English monarchy as we know it. Along with plunging them back into a bloody battle over Northern Ireland. Elizabeth I a man? How could you not be intrigued!?
  
Irish immigrant Molly Murphy returns to Ireland on a job to find a missing relative. Unfortunately, she gets involved with a murder on board the boat taking her back to her native country. I normally love this historical series, but this one was up to par. The mystery was sacrificed in favor of the historical plot, which was good enough to redeem the book.

Pretending to be someone you’re not can be a problem, but in Clara Kelly’s case, it was a matter of survival. Through a case of mistaken identity, Clara accidentally lands the post of Lady’s Maid to the wealthy Carnegie family. For the sake of her family back in Ireland, Clara must play the part or lose everything. You can more about this historical fiction story by the author of “The Other Einstein,” in my review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2017/12/29/cinderella-or-pygmalion/
