Summary
The ninth adventure for Chaloner sees the Restoration London spy foil a conspiracy.
In 1665, England is facing war with the Dutch, and the capital is awash with rumours of conspiracy and sedition. As an experienced investigator, Thomas Chaloner knows that there are very few grains of truth in the shifting sands of the rumour-mill, but the murder of Paul Ferine, a Groom of the Robes, in a brothel favoured by the elite of the Palace of White Hall makes him scent a whiff of genuine treason.
As well as investigating the murder, Chaloner is charged with tracking down the leaders of a fanatical sect known as the Fifth Monarchists. As he comes to know more about the group and their meetings on High Holborn, he discovers a puzzling number of connections - to both Ferine's murder and those involved with the defence of the realm. Connections that he must disentangle before it is too late to save the country....
Critic reviews
"Once again, Gregory brings to bear her extraordinary ability to paint a period picture of London in all its grimness and grittiness. Hats off to the lady!" (Daily Mail)

Loved It!
Great to get back into the adventures of Chaloner again. Full of the same. twists & turns plus gentle humour you would expect from Susanna Gregory and excellent narration by Gordon Griffin who captures the mood perfectly!

Another great story
Another great story in the Thomas Chaloner series although I almost decided to pause it to come back to it much later on. The aggravating and stupid characters that pepper it and the way Chaloner is treated often drives me crazy I'm ready to year my hair out with frustration, so I was so relieved when I reached chapter 13 and then it got really interesting. Gordon Griffin's narration of these books is brilliant, such clear diction and a wonderful sounding voice, I'm so glad he's narrated all of them. It often wrong foots me when there's a change in narrator.
