A Masterpiece of Corruption
ByPublisher Description
John Grey is a newly minted lawyer and would-be ladies' man with a bad habit of poking his nose into other people's business and getting tangled up in intrigue. That's unfortunate, because a mis-delivered letter from royalists has left Grey with more information about a murderous plot than it's entirely safe to know. Can Grey prevent the murder? And of infinitely more importance, can he keep his mouth shut long enough to save his own skin?

“Mistaken for another man, law student John Grey is summoned to Lincoln's Inn by the mysterious Mr SK. Intrigued he visits and finds himself at the centre of a plot to assassinate Oliver Cromwell and restore the monarchy to Commonwealth England. Grey already has history with Mr Thurloe, Cromwell's security advisor, and becomes a double agent. Not sure who to trust, including his own family, Grey is placed in danger and even in The Tower.
Generally I am a big fan of historical fiction and this one stacked up well, interesting period and complicated plot, but I found it hard to get into. This is possibly because the characters didn't seem well-fleshed out, or because the plot looped back on itself several times and became hard to follow. Either way I didn't enjoy the book as much as I anticipated.”
