Entertaining. I usually stay away from historical fiction because that genre tends to have a sort of time-machine quality: changing too many things can upset everything else, and can ruin the historical aspect.
But I think this is done well. The author explains why he's invented the agent charge with pursuing the elusive pair of Charles I's assassins, and sets him to work among the historical characters...

I kind of cashed-in early on this. Not that it isn't interesting, but I found I don't really like any of the characters, or at least their limitations. I didn't want to read about the "regicides" getting caught.
It's a dreary situation on both sides. I did appreciate the look at very early colonial America, when societies were paradoxically both in flux and extremely rigidly organized.
