A bloody murder. An open and shut case? In Oliver Cromwell's London, nothing is as it seems - Captain Damian Seeker must battle to find justice, when an innocent man's life hangs in the balance. 'Challenges CJ Sansom for dominion of historical crime' Sunday Times 'The best historical crime novel of the year' Sunday Express London, 1654. Oliver Cromwell is at the height of his power and has declared himself Lord Protector. Yet he has many enemies, at home and abroad. London is a complex web of spies and merchants, priests and soldiers, exiles and assassins. One of the web's most fearsome spiders is Damian Seeker, agent of the Lord Protector. No one knows where Seeker comes from, who his family is, or even his real name. All that is known of him for certain is that he is utterly loyal to Cromwell, and that nothing can be long hidden from him. In the city, coffee houses are springing up, fashionable places where men may meet to plot and gossip. Suddenly they are ringing with news of a murder. John Winter, hero of Cromwell's all-powerful army, is dead, and the lawyer, Elias Ellingworth, found standing over the bleeding body, clutching a knife. Yet despite the damning evidence, Seeker is not convinced of Ellingworth's guilt. He will stop at nothing to bring the killer to justice: and Seeker knows better than any man where to search.

I paused this when it got a little tedious. Someday I‘ll come back to it. Be that as it may, those are some impressive #boots he‘s wearing. #coverlove

If you liked #two4tuesday on Wednesday, you‘ll love #wondrouswednesday on Thursday!

🦋Tagged. 3.5 stars. Good story telling, but this period of history is always frustrating and confusing to me.

1. Every day it changes. Tagged book is today‘s choice.

This first in a five part series featuring The Seeker, head of the Guard protecting Oliver Cromwell, is compared to the Sansome series and aptly so, although it is set 100 years after the time of that other Cromwell and his infamous king. I expected to enjoy the mystery and intrigue of this tale and it‘s enigmatic antihero but was unprepared for the beauty of the writing. The author she has a gorgeous way with prose! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ruthiella Excellent. I‘ll check it out for sure. I really enjoyed the Shardlake books. 3y

Well written & entertaining historical crime set in Cromwell's London. The first novel in a series, it refreshingly doesn't waste a lot of time setting things up & you get very little of Damian Seeker's backstory - the point is he's an enigma, an unknown & unknowable element. He is, in fact, a hugely intriguing character. The murder mystery is also strong but it's finding out more about this anti-hero that would make me read more of the series.

Deifio The cover sure looks intriguing, too! 5y
BekaReid The cover! 5y
HardcoverHearts Right up my alley!! And looks like a great addition while I am reading through Hilary Mantel‘s work for the next 3 months. Thank you. 5y
Rina_Black Sounds intriguing! I love enigmatic characters and even though I'm not into murder mysteries, I think I'll enjoy this one. And yes, the cover looks awesome!!! 5y

Just starting this one. It was buried deep in the recesses of my Kindle, probably bought on a daily deal 4, 7 or even 11 years ago - who knows?! I selected it by putting my TBR total into a random number generator. This was number ... ha ha, like I'm going to admit that! (It was a big number 😜)

A 17th Century spy novel. Not my usual fodder but I ended up with 2 new copies (no idea how!) and felt I should give it a go - I think it was a Waterstones book club read? It won the 2005 Historical Dagger. I am always interested to see how these novels handle gender issues. #feministreading #historicalspythriller #booksacquiredbyaccident
