My review:⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is set in 1586 in England. Queen Elizabeth I is on the throne and there are Catholic conspirators planning to kill Queen Elizabeth and put Mary Queen of Scots on the throne.
Our main character is Giordano Bruno, an Italian who is a spy, and is going undercover to learn more.
This is a book that a series that I haven’t read. It follows Bruno, and so there are characters and other references to the series that I’m not familiar with but I didn’t find it detracted from the story.
It’s a fast paced spy story, with the betrayals that go with it.
I found the settings to be very evocative and I was interested in how this was going to be resolved.
I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to HarperCollins.
