Publisher's Summary:
Spring 1593. England is a powder keg of rumour and fear. Plague rages, famine is rife, the ageing Queen's couriers scheme: Elizabeth's Golden Age is truly tarnished. Meanwhile Spain watches and waits - and plots. Into this turmoil a small cart clatters through the streets of London, carrying a deadly load. It is the first in a wave of horrific bombing attacks on the Dutch immigrant community that will change John Shakespeare's life for ever. Driven on by cold rage, Shakespeare's investigations will take him from magnificent royal horseraces to the opulent chambers of Black Luce's brothel, from the theatrical underworld of Marlowe and Kyd to the pain-wracked torture cells of priest-hunter Richard Topcliffe, and from the elegant offices of master tactician Robert Cecil to the splintering timbers of an explosive encounter at sea.
As Shakespeare delves ever deeper, he uncovers intricate layers of mystery and deception that threaten the heart not only of the realm, but of all that he holds dear.

Sorry folks, I was a bit bored with this story.......I kept falling asleep as it didn't come to life until Chapter 20 or around there....
The story zipped along at a nice pace!
One does need to allow for the odd time a plot thread resolves itself in a convenient and fortuitous fashion, but I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure.
Overly camp narration of an otherwise decent story
This narrator makes Robert Cecil's character sound irritatingly like Julian Clary, which seems an unlikely tone in a man effectively governing a country.
Other than that quite enjoyable!
Something just didn't seem to work with this story
I found this book pretty disappointing. The narration seemed a little wooden but I am not sure this was the fault of the narrator, but more a sympton of a poorly written book with very flimsy characters. The storyline was good but I just think needed a touch of realism. It came across as rather childishly written.
Do not like change of narrators
Narrator change irritates me in series. Nothing wrong with performance but irritating. It spoils the continuity between books
