Excellent book! I don’t usually read historical fiction, or much fiction at all for that matter, but I read this and do not regret it. I agree with the errors/typos bit, surely this will clean up before it hits the stores. I also sometimes thought the narration/point of view was a bit odd. Sometimes it was in the first person, as the story was being told by the narrating character, but at other times, in scenes this character was in, it skipped to third person.

…I hate the cover, though. Doesn’t really capture the feel of the book, or the events therein, and if she’s not careful, that lady’s dress is about to go up in flames. And artistically, it’s just kind of…off.

I’d probably compare the writing to someone like Scott Turow.

I read it too (actually, I snatched it up and read it before Greg got a chance), and it reminded me a little of an Anne Perry novel. Maybe a little more exciting. It was very good, if you’re into historical mystery/thriller stuff, which I am.

Greg, who can you compare the writing to, stylistically speaking?
