 Cracking Continual Spy Romp March 4, 2008
Gareth Wilson
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Taking place in the years after the reign of England only Lord Protector (Oliver Cromwell), this cracking third book from author Susanna has been a treat to savour with a protagonist who does his damn best to keep his head when everyone else is losing there's (and sometimes that's more than literal. LOL) Wonderfully creative the series just seems to go from strength to strength as the reader is literally walking the old streets of London with Thomas Chaloner as he does his level best to achieve his current mission. Picturesque and descriptive the reader can literally smell the scents of Old London through the pages as this Cambridge Scholars work continues to haunt you after your first read tempting you to reread as to be honest I'm always seeing something new that I missed on the first read through. If you know a crime fan or a thriller fan then this really is going to be something special for them to savour. A great present to pick up and give for birthdays or celebrations. They truly will thank you for it.
 Third in Thomas Chaloner Mysteries January 21, 2008
J. Chippindale (England)
12 out of 14 found this review helpful
Susanna Gregory is the pseudonym of a Cambridge academic who was previously a coroner's officer. Her series of mediaeval mysteries have gained a formidable following. This book is the third in the Thomas Chaloner mysteries. The are set in Restoration London. She is also the author of the ever popular Matthew Bartholomew series of books. She is one of my favourite authors
The title character, Thomas Chaloner is a reluctant spy, initially cajoled into the service of the Secretary of State, John Thurloe. This occurred when Thomas had recently returned from Holland and was in desperate need of work. Thurloe recommended Thomas to the Earl of Clarendon, but in return insisted that Thomas keep him informed of any plots that may be brought against him.
There is a more than adequate synopsis for this particular book provided by Amazon, so it is not necessary for me to add anything regarding the storyline of the book. Except perhaps to say that the author captures the period beautifully and her main character Thomas Chaloner is becoming more likeable with every volume. Whether he will ever achieve the status of Matthew Bartholomew in the mind of the reader, only time will tell.
