Satin Cinnabar ReviewHaving loved this writer's first book, I was happy to buy this new one at once.
It's different - there's no fantasy this time - but the story was equally gripping and the characters are amazingly vivid.
I really loved it. The pace is fast right from the start, and I was hooked so quickly I couldn't put it down.
This is a brilliant adventure/romance which starts on the very first day of the new Tudor dynasty in England. There's some great insight into the Battle of Bosworth, the dead King Richard and the new Henry Tudor. Most of all the descriptions of the medieval way of life for all sorts of different types in London are so fascinating, I felt I was there. But goodness - I'm glad I'm NOT there! It's a bit gruesome in places, but fun in others, and all really unputdownable. It certainly comes alive. This writer obviously knows her history - there's more of it this time than in her first book - and I find it's pulling me in so much I want to know more myself. This is gripping stuff and I certainly recommend it.
The romance is absolutely lovely (not slushy) with some sex and there's some delightful humour as well, but on the whole I'd call this a crime adventure with excellent characterisation and some great original ideas.
I'm definitely impressed - I wish the book had been longer as I wanted to go on reading so I hope this author writes another soon.
Satin Cinnabar OverviewSet in 1485 against the aftermath of the Battle of Bosworth when the first Tudor King Henry VII took the throne from Richard III, Satin Cinnabar is both an off-beat historical romance and a straight forward murder-mystery-adventure. These plots and sub-plots interweave, held together by the strong atmospheric medieval backgrounds and the depth of characterization.On his escape from the abandoned battlefield, Alex, younger son of a slain lord, throws off his armour which would mark him as a knight of the vanquished Yorkists. The Lady Katherine, having heard tales of marauding soldiers both vanquished and victorious, is dressed for greater safety as a boy. She and Alex, both in disguise, meet in unusual circumstances. Now the conquered lords once loyal to King Richard are in danger of losing their titles, their property and their heads, by order of the emergent Tudor monarch attempting to forge new loyalties for himself. Law and order seem under threat so Alex quickly goes into hiding. He takes refuge in the kitchens of old friends, remains incognito, and impersonates a servant. It is during his unorthodox sojourn in the kitchens that Alex encounters Katherine once again. Given in an arranged marriage, the lady is now reluctantly wedded to the new lord of the house, recently knighted by the king. Alex and Katherine come face to face for the second time and begin a most unorthodox courtship.But Alex's cousin, newly pardoned and released from the Tower, is discovered murdered. The particular circumstances of his death put Alex under considerable suspicion, especially when Katherine's bridegroom also dies suddenly, albeit of natural causes. The parish priest believes Alex guilty of double murder, and is persistent. He gives evidence against Alex, leading to his arrest and incarceration in Newgate prison - a veritable hell during that period. Discovering the true murderer, overcoming his enemies, and convincing Katherine that marriage with the right person might actually be an excellent prospect after all, involves Alex for the rest of the book. The consequent adventures take place against a background of reeking bustle, the confusion of medieval London's prosperous growth, back alleys, the horrors of Newgate Prison, the sewerage ridden river, the quarrelsome and diverse population, and all the inevitable power struggle, politics and turmoil accompanying the very beginning of the new Tudor dynasty.
