Are you currently reading a historical fiction book? What is the title? Are you enjoying the story?

I’m currently reading, “The King’s Messenger” by Susanna Kearsley and it is fantastic so far! By the way, I LOVE the cover! I certainly have high hopes for this story. Kearsley’s depiction of King James character is very close to what I’ve imagined it to be by what I know of him through history books. I’ve been busy of late and haven’t had as much time for reading fiction as I would have liked but I’m playing catch-up this coming weekend. Excited! Lots of reviews to get out.

The next Historical Fiction book I plan on reading and reviewing is, Paris Undercover (A Wartime Story of Courage, Friendship, and Betrayal)by Matthew Goodman

The King’s Messenger by Susanna Kearsley

1613:  King James – sixth of Scotland, first of England, son of Mary, Queen of Scots – has unified both countries under one crown. But the death of his eldest son, Henry, has plunged the nation into mourning, as the rumours rise the prince was poisoned.

Andrew Logan’s heard the rumours, but he’s paid them little heed. As one of the King’s Messengers he has enough secrets to guard, including his own. In these perilous times, when the merest suggestion of witchcraft can see someone tortured and hanged, men like Andrew must hide well the fact they were born with the Sight.

He’ll need all his gifts, though, when the king sends Andrew north to find and arrest Sir David Murray, once Prince Henry’s trusted courtier, and bring him a prisoner to London to stand trial before the dreaded Star Chamber.

A story of treachery, betrayal and love…
