“Woolley has an entirely new, riveting tale to tell…A perfect choice for readers who love English history, especially the Stuart period.”?Kirkus Reviews "Woolley once again proves himself an adept sleuth among complex sources.”?The Weekly Standard “Engaging…active history collections should include this niche-filling examination.”?Booklist “Woolley draws on new evidence from noted toxiocologist John Henry who believes that someone probably murdered the king...an engrossing portrait of an ambitious man trusted by two kings that both casual reader and Stuart history fans can enjoy."?Publishers Weekly “Woolley tackles his subject with the same type of narrative gusto displayed by Nathaniel Philbrick . . . Like Philbrick, his treatment of a legendary event and era in American history is comprehensive and myth shattering.” ?Booklist "Brilliantly framed narrative...fascinating...A well-told story." ?Kirkus (starred review) |
