Conspiracy
Another great read in the Lady Jane Tremayne Series
This is the 4th in the series, and it does not disappoint. Again, we are immersed into the world of Oliver Cromwell’s reign. Here we see Jane now living with her best friend Olivia, when her own lands are confiscated. Life is relatively peaceful till a band of Royalists arrive at the house., intent on killing one of Cromwell’s Generals, who now resides in Lady Jane’s home. But during a dinner, things go terribly wrong, when one of these men dies in suspicious circumstances, causing Jane to put her detective skills to good use.
After a failed attempt on the General’s life, the whole house, including some of the Loyalists’, escape to Bruges, where King Charles has taken up residence. Jane is still struggling to discover who murdered the Royalist, when she realises that there are other sub-plots, including one to Kill King Charles II, but who can she trust.
As with all James Walker’s other books you are immediately immersed into that era, which is what makes his books so enjoyable. They are a refreshing different series of ‘Whodunnits’. A thoroughly enjoyable read, which I would highly recommend.
