The Devlin Diary | Christi Phillips

2 posts | 5 read | 4 to read

London, 1672: A vicious killer stalks the court of Charles II, inscribing his victims' bodies with mysterious markings. Are these the random murders of a madman? The deadly consequence of a personal vendetta? Or the grisly result of a hidden conspiracy? Cambridge, 2008: A Trinity College history professor is found dead, the torn page of a seventeenth-century diary in his hand. His death appears to be an accident, but the college's newest Fellow Claire Donovan and historian Andrew Kent suspect otherwise. The professor's last research subject was Hannah Devlin, a physician to the king's mistress and the keeper of a diary that holds the key to a series of unsolved murders in 1670s London. Through the arcane collections of Trinity's Wren Library, the British Library, and the Royal Society, Claire and Andrew follow the clues Hannah left behind, unearthing secrets of the past and present as both stories unfold to their shocking conclusions.

The Devlin Diary | Christi Phillips

I found this mesh of history and fiction as entertaining as the first in the series, “The Rossetti Letter.” I quickly tore through the pages so that Claire and Andrew—professors of history in England—could reveal the final mystery of the court of Charles II. But the parallel murder mystery in the modern storyline could have been left out. The intrigues of Charles II‘s court was compelling enough without adding a murder of a colleague to the mix.
