I am addicted to these stories! I eagerly await each new one that comes out and they never disappoint. Back with Kit and Iomar and their never ending adventures as intelligencers to Walsingham himself.
The plot of the third book was great!! A constant feel of impending doom and a threat to the life of the queen. We have a gunpowder plot, we have life and death, a hint of romance and danger lurking around every corner. The continuation of the story throughout these books has been amazing and they’ve honestly held a part of my brain constantly throughout whilst waiting for the next instalment.
They’ve been so entertaining to read and they honestly get better and better. The book flew by and now I’m sad it’s finished. But also so happy that there’s more to come! Because seriously I will always need more and I don’t think I can ever get enough of the Kit Iomar banter.
And Oof, after a few of the events that happened in this one (no spoilers), the next one is a must read. I need to know what happens and my time in the Tudor period is most definitely not over. I’m such a fan of this whole series and is become a favourite of the year. Roll on the next one!

Adele Jordan has produced a stunning novel, where Kit and Iomhar are the lead characters. Walsingham is closely involved in this tale of Elizabeth the first. The Queen is being poisoned, so she cannot be moved, and there is a threat to blow up Hampton Court where the Queen is situated. Can Kit and Iomhar solve the case before it is too late? The answer to that is in the novel and I highly recommend that if the reader likes historical fiction they find out, in fact I recommend the novel in general.
