Reviews
“Readers with a taste for melodramatic suspense will relish this solid historical…Buckley takes a Chaucerian interest in characters from all social strata, their garments, physical distinctions and manners.”
“[McCaddon’s] always-perfect characterizations encompass royalty and an aging hag, loyal servants and scruffy children, smarmy nobles and star-crossed lovers, all with skill and insight. Her enthusiasm for the story keeps her energy high.”
“An absorbing page-turner.”
“The historical detail about Elizabethan life and times is fascinating. [McCaddon’s] voice performance is spot on—her Welsh and Scottish dialects are excellent as is her French pronunciation and accent.”
