Murder by Misrule by Anna Castle

3.0

3.5 I thoroughly enjoyed this book for the quick fun romp it was: A slightly alternate history re-telling of Francis Bacon's younger years during the reign of Queen Elizabeth but with murder(!!). The book brings personality and color to historical figures and the time period, making it easy to imagine yourself there, even if some descriptions go on for a bit with no real story relevance. There's a few twists that seemed to come out of no where, specifically about one of Clarady's friends, but they do not distract from the main story as much as I thought it would.

I will not be seeking out the sequel but I can't say this book wasn't entertaining. Just don't expect anything too deep.
