Summary
Francis Bacon is charged with investigating the murder of a fellow barrister at Gray's Inn. He recruits his unwanted protégé Thomas Clarady to do the tiresome legwork. The son of a privateer, Clarady will do anything to climb the Elizabethan social ladder.
Bacon's powerful uncle, Lord Burghley, suspects Catholic conspirators of the crime, but other motives quickly emerge. Rival barristers contend for the murdered man's legal honors and wealthy clients. Highly-placed courtiers are implicated as the investigation reaches from Whitehall to the London streets.
Bacon does the thinking; Clarady does the fencing. Everyone has something up his pinked and padded sleeve. Even the brilliant Francis Bacon is at a loss - and in danger - until he sees through the disguises of the season of Misrule.

I enjoyed the storyline but found some elements frustrating, the plot could have moved along more quickly.

Great book
Great book, really good storyline, but would enjoy it more if different narrator-mr froomkin tries and is good with different voices, however his own voice is not made for loud book reading, sorry. John Thorpe from Susana Gregory’s fantastic series Bartholomew is such a great voice it would be great if everybody was reading like him and have him as an example

Didn’t enjoy the narrator
Found that I took several attempts to get into this story. Didn’t hold my attention and found that I had to go back several times as my concentration wandered.
A bit of a damp squib.
