February 1574. Winter holds London in its icy grasp, but the city is also caught in a fervour of paranoia, superstition and rumour. Mob violence is commonplace. A whispered word is all it takes to condemn a woman to burn as a witch.
Following his success in foiling the ‘Incendium’ plot against the queen, Dr Christopher Radcliff’s standing within court is high. However, he has no time to reap any rewards. Counterfeit coins are circulating on London’s streets, bearing the likeness of his master, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. This in itself is a treasonous offence, but slogans have also begun to appear. Daubed on walls and doorways, they suggest that someone close to the queen harbours treacherous intent – none other than Leicester himself . . .
So Radcliff and his team of informants and amateur spies are sent out into the city’s markets, drinking dens and brothels to track down who might be behind such outrageous and subversive acts. The investigation will lead them down a murderous path to face an elusive foe with an extraordinary agenda. And time is running out: for when rumour and fear catch fire, then surely violent insurrection and bloody chaos will follow.

Thank you to Netgalley, Christopher and Penguin for the ARC in return for an honest review.
I'm a really big fan of Historical Fiction but I find with many novels that a romantic aspect creeps in that sours the historical detail for me. A D Swanston stays true to the Elizabethan setting with some fascinating details of how Intelligencers were deployed and what they did. Very like modern-day security services, it seems except for the threat of torture & drawing/quartering for forging banknotes which, thankfully, would be illegal today.
I also relished Christopher's relationships with women. There was respect there certainly but also a very authentic internal dialogue that captured his irritation with Katharine and his admiration of the beguiling Ell. There was a wee bit of a pacing problem during the middle third of the book - dragged slightly after Pryce's arrest and interrogation but finished very well and I thoroughly enjoyed this smart and descriptive novel. Definitely recommend.

The Author is a master of bringing to life realities of life in the Elizabethan era , especially how 'Intelligencers' were deployed on behalf of the Crown .
Fake coins are in circulation causing the rise in price of many staples ………… the emblem on the coins is that of Earl of Leicester …………. a treasonous act or a double bluff ?
Dr Christopher Radcliffe , who's standing has increased after foiling the 'Incendium' plot , is tasked with finding out the truth of the situation . Using his team of spies and informants he tries to track down just who is responsible , who has the most to gain !
This is a fascinating fast paced read , full of complex characters and an entertaining puzzle for Christopher to solve .
I was given an arc of this book by the Publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

COUNTERFEIT COINS THREATEN ENGLAND'S STABILITY IN THE TIME OF ELIZABETH I
Murder mysteries predominate among the countless novels of suspense that crowd the shelves in bookstores and libraries. The stakes are obvious when a murder takes place. Someone has snuffed out a human life. By contrast, a crime such as counterfeiting represents a lower order of threat—or at least that’s the case today, when all but the tiniest countries have so much currency in circulation that no counterfeiter could have an appreciable impact.
But that wasn’t true in World War II, when Nazis and Allies alike printed counterfeit notes amounting to billions of reichsmarks, pounds, or dollars. And it was assuredly not true during the reign of Elizabeth I. Then, the circulation of counterfeit coins could undermine people’s confidence in the currency. The result might be chaos. Which is the title of A. D. Swanston’s Elizabethan-era thriller, the second in a series featuring a royal spy named Christopher Radcliff.
False coins undermine the queen’s closest advisor
Christopher is a former Cambridge don who has left behind the academic life to join the service of the queen’s closest advisor, Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester. In short order, he has risen to the post of the earl’s chief intelligencer. Christopher tunes into the rumor mill in London through a network of spies and informers, including a Marrano Jewish goldsmith named Isaac Cardoza and a beautiful prostitute named Ell.
When counterfeit coins surface bearing the earl’s image and coat of arms rather than the queen’s, the earl turns to Christopher in fury. The coins threaten his relationship with the queen—and promise chaos in the markets among traders who may no longer trust the money they’re paid. Christopher then enlists Isaac and Ell to help discover who is minting the false coins, and why. Unfortunately, the investigation they undertake will expose all three of them to great danger. And one will die in the process.
A disappointing resolution
Chaos is the second of the Christopher Radcliff novels. In the first, Incendium, Christopher foils an elaborate, high-level plot to murder Queen Elizabeth and replace her on the throne with her cousin, Mary Queen of Scots. It’s an outstanding piece of work, crammed with period detail and suspenseful to a fault from beginning to end. Chaos promises more of the same. Sadly, the book’s premise—that counterfeiters might turn the people of England against their queen—falls by the wayside as Christopher and his collaborators learn who is behind the counterfeiting and why. It’s disappointing. The explanation Swanston supplies for the counterfeiting might work in another context. But it doesn’t work well here.

Chaos follows two years after The Incendium Plot and whilst many themes from the first are touched upon in the second, I would recommend reading Incendium prior to Chaos.
The above synopsis fairly accurately sums up the storyline whereby Dr Christopher Radcliff - doctor of law, convicted killer and intelligencer for Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester - is again sent out by Leicester to find the source and reasoning behind a spate of counterfeiting for as we are told "... currency that cannot be trusted is more dangerous than an enemy in plain sight ...".
With mysterious slogans, funny money, pamplets, desecration, and murder, it is up to Radcliff and his rag-tag team of spies and informers to seek out "... perception and reality .. fact and rumour ..." before chaos does prevail. And like Incendium, just when you think that things are all neatly wrapped up, you realise there is still much more of the story that is in need of telling and that nothing really has been concluded.
Alan Swanston is a writer whose works I am becoming increasingly fond of to the point where I think I will invest in the series and add these books to my own personal library. Looking forward to the next instalment in this series.

Winter 1574 and the City of London is in uproar, witches are being burned, slogans are daubed on houses and false coins are in circulation. It is the latter that concern the Earl of Essex as these coins show his family emblems and so he requests the assistance of Dr Radcliff. Radcliff himself also has problems, his new housekeeper has been accused of witchcraft and put in prison and his lover has finally refused to see him, accusing him of using the favours of a whore. Ell is just an informer but Kat is convinced otherwise. Radcliff's friend is killed and the chase after the perpetrators leads him to have to make to some difficult decisions.
This is a second outing for Dr Christopher Radcliff and his companions in Elizabethan London. It is a strong piece of historical fiction with a suitable twisty plot and some interesting characters. I particularly liked the consideration of the deformed, both in terms of the woman accused of witchcraft and the 'villain', both sympathetic characters in their own right but used as a device to illustrate prejudices amongst the people. An excellent tale, well told and rich with historical details which adds to and colours the story.

There’s a lot of historical crime and spy fiction about at the moment – CJ Sansom, SG Maclean, CS Quinn and SJ Parris to name a few that I have enjoyed. I wonder why all of these authors choose to use both initials rather than their first names?
Chaos, the second novel by AD Swanston is a worthy addition to the list. Set in Elizabethan London, Dr Christopher Radcliffe (the Earl of Leicesters chief Intelligencer) is struggling to uncover the source of counterfeit coins that are causing panic and riot within the city. Strange messages start to appear on the walls of the city and then plague crosses are daubed on doors. Chaos is very close but Radcliffe and his informers are getting no closer to finding out who is responsible or why.
At the same time Radcliffe’s slightly unusual personal life is unravelling, his housekeeper is in Newgate accused of witchcraft and his paramour abandons him.
Chaos is very good, a pacy read with fascinating detail about Elizabethan London and politics.

Dr Christopher Radcliff is enjoying his status at court after successfully stopping the Incendium plot. Life at the court of Queen Elizabeth can change in a whim and soon the good doctor is called on to use his considerable skills. Alongside his associates and shady informants, he is tasked to investigate a campaign of deception and treachery involving the Earl of Leicester.
A formidable foe is up against them and soon murder and chaos is all around.
Can Christopher succeed or are there powers up against him that even his considerable skills can’t stop?
This novel is just magnificent. The writing is so finely crafted and the characters are wonderful. There is also an air of suspense throughout that leaves the reader on edge until the very end with an incredible finale.
A.D Swanston is comfortably at the top of his field when it comes to historical fiction and this novel show his writing at its very finest. A true delight to read.

This was a page turner and I loved the historical details. The side characters were a little one dimensional - twink sidekick, feisty widow gf, lovable whore, evil bisexual coroner (??) but I get it’s a mystery so maybe not the most important thing for this book
The protagonist Dr. Radcliff was very likable, but also unrealistic at times. Like you mean to tell me this lawyer 1500s London was perfectly ethical, intelligent, tall, handsome, kind, selfless, etc etc.. I wanted to see the bad sides of him too! There were a few parts where he was a little ruthless in pursuit of justice which I appreciated, but it was definitely sanitized compared to how evil real 1500s London cops probably were lol
The author did a great job of world building and pulling you into the story, with imaginative descriptions of the setting that didn’t get boring. Overall super enjoyable read, would definitely recommend and would read more by this author again!

The second outing for Christopher Radcliff and as enjoyable as the first. False coins are circulating in London causing rising food prices and some disquiet, not helped by the strange appearance of painted messages and crosses on churches. Witchcraft is suspected and the Earl of Leicester is furious as his emblems are stamped on the false coinage threatening to damage his relationship with Queen Elizabeth. He tasks Dr Radcliff with finding out who is responsible and stopping them.
The background detail and relationships that are a feature of this kind of series continue to build, whilst not detracting from the plot. Definitely a good read. Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for a review copy.

An enjoyable sequel to THE INCENDIUM PLOT, but I felt like the story seemed a bit less probable. In some ways, I suspect that Swanston tried to include too many ideas in this book. I liked it but the story felt less tight. Events take place two years after the INCENDIUM, much of Dr. Radcliff’s situation (personal and professional) is unchanged, but he is obviously suffering from what we would now call PTSD from his experiences in the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre. As with the previous novel, the author gives you an excellent feel for the way in which law enforcement and espionage (and government in general) were very personal things. Solid 3 stars.

A follow-up to The Incendium Plot, this was another foray into the lives of Christopher Radcliffe, Roland Wetherby and the Earls of Leicester & Warwick.
It was just as enjoyable as the first book. Dealing with counterfeit coins, murder, strange slogans and the like, Dr Radcliffe solves the puzzle with aplomb, along with his trusty informer Ell the whore.
The story wrapped itself up nicely and we are left wondering with Radcliffe returns to Cambridge or stays to serve Robert Dudley.
Favourite Lines:
A pair of poxed pricks.
and
Weasel words.
A romping good read.

Good, interesting story line, with continuous references to the earlier book. However far too much use of the word "and" i.e. buttons and bows and bonnets etc. The sentences would have been better using commas between words with "and" being used at the end of the list. Also too much speculation on the main characters so called love life, which really detracted from the story.
Enjoyable, but not as well written as the first Radcliff book.

An excellent read and thoroughly recommended. The author has beautifully crafted a book that is both absorbing and entertaining. The story is well told and pacy whilst wrapping itself around historical fact and real characters from the period. I hope there will be a follow on book as I love the fictional characters and would love to see them developed.

An imperfect conclusion
Though this second story is both interesting and involving, it does rather limp to a conclusion. I hope that this foreshadows a third book to come rather than the running out of steam.
I would still recommend the read as Dr Radcliff again tussles with the enemies of QEI, and manages to get into and mostly out off dangerous and troubling situations.

another great yarn, brilliantly told.
I enjoy good historical fiction and A D Swanston is one of the best.
I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know Elizabethan London and England.
Isaac will be missed sadly, but Dr Radcliffe and his agents have many adventures to come I think.
Looking forward to reading the next.

An enthralling whodunit
I could not put this book down. Intrigue to the end,the story has three main themes of revenge justice and love. A great book for the lovers of historical drama and those who just like a good paced whodunit.

A Strange Tale
Not the usual Tudor mystery but a strange tale of apparently unconnected events and meaningless deaths. Not quite as good as Incendium and takes a while to get going but still very readable and quiet enjoyable.

Slow in the middle, but when he finally gets to engaging with the mystery in earnest I found it interesting. Enjoyed the insight into Elizabethan justice and injustice, crowd manipulation mentality (resonant for today).
September 5, 2025
I'm not sure why, but I enjoyed this book more than the first one. It wasn't as long so I wasn't constantly discouraged about how small a percent I was reading each day (sometimes a disadvantage of a kindle. Also, there was more of a mystery about what was going on.
