The Falconer's Knot by Mary Hoffman

3.0

A nicely researched fling in the world of medieval Italy. Hoffman brings us on a whirlwind tour of the world of painting in pre-Renaissance Italy, coupled with a dramatic dash of murder, poisonings and mayhem.

Not as prone to the emotional punches of Hoffman's Stravaganza series (which I adored), this book was none the less very entertaining.

A good place for younger (12+ it is a bit gory at times) readers with an interest in history to start.
