These Daniel Pursglove books are on my list of “Series I didn’t want to read and now I’m addicted to”, and they all seem to be historical fiction mysteries. Because, y’know, I don’t like mysteries either.
So! Daniel Pursglove is a spy in the early 1600’s and here he is, embroiled in the religious goings-on of the Montagues - a family who are rumoured to shelter Catholics. King James isn’t happy.
There are loads of secrets, spooky occurrences, a murder or two and plenty of suspense. It seems very historically accurate to me: it’s winter, and everything is cold, dark and difficult to live in!
This is a series I’ll be continuing with, there are another two books so far, so that should illustrate how good they are. He’s a very likeable main character, and he’s clearly being pressurised into being a spy.
Recommended!

The characters [Lundy] creates are entertaining as are the situations they get in. It made me laugh out loud but also think about a lot of things. A book that can be entertaining and thought provoking is truly a gem.
