Prophecy: An Elizabethan Thriller Audiobook

" S.J. Parris's Prophecy is the book I've been reading during my break at work. I'm just about finished and hate putting it down. It gets better the further along you go. A slice of history and a reminder the Elizabeth I used spys. It basically starts with a murder and a time when Catholic clergy were executed and pursued in England. Plots abound and I can't wait to see if they all co-inside or are on a different track. 10/27/11 I finished this book. I loved it. The twists and turns are worthy of Elizabethan times. Bruno hopefully will be back with a new tale. "

" Entertaining and a page turner! "

" Good intriguing book. Fun to read and enjoy "

" I've not read Heresy so I haven't any affinity for Giordano Bruno. Elizabeth I is beyond giving her country an heir and the Catholic forces who seem to be loyal to Mary of Scotland are, in fact, rallying behind her son, James. Elizabeth is protrayed as strong, but not so strong, when certain "signs" turn up in stones, tea leaves, coffee grounds, or carved into the flesh of murder victims. OK, the tea leaves and coffee grounds aren't in the book, but a whole lot of stuff that sounds bizarre is. Bruno has insinuated himself into the company of those who would dispose Elizabeth and return Catholicism as the main religion. It's seems beyond belief that he can so easily do this, all the while working for the other side. Maybe I've read too many modern who-dun-its and watched too many episodes of MI5. Bruno narrowly escapes death and saves the day. "

" I think I have a reader's crush on Bruno. "

" Took awhile for me to get through it, but it was actually pretty good. Now have to go back and read the first one, Heresy to find out how Giordano Bruno became the "renegade monk." :) Reminds me of Ariana Franklin's series....... "

" Had a hard time getting into the storyline of this one. It was ok but I liked Heresy a lot more. "

" Stands alone, or acts as a great follow-on to "Heresy." Creative historical fiction, filled with many real characters and real events and an interesting protagonist who becomes central to the real events. Worth reading alone, or as part of the series. "

" I read the first 50 or so pages and just couldn't get into it. Other people may like it, but this is not my kind of book. "

" A good Historical mystery. Giordano Bruno is a breath of fresh air. A 8 out of 10 read. "

" Excellent read...I kept reading way past bedtime:) It doesn't have a jump start beginning, but stick with it and you'll be glad you did. "

" I like the lead character. Thought the story line was excellent and kept my gripped to the last page ! "

" I'll post a longer review later, but this was a well-written and engaging mystery novel. "

" I liked this one better than the first one "Heresy". I'm thinking I'll read the third to see how it goes. "

" I loved Heresy, but I thought that this one was much better. A Well written historical thriller that had twist and turns in every corner. Can't wait to read Sacrilege. "

" I enjoyed this second book even more than the first book. It was a bit less gruesome. Time to buy the next one! :-) "

" I'm just starting this one, but it's off to an interesting start. "

" I have always liked this period of history. The blend of history, astrology and mystery was a good mix. Giordano Bruno investigates this palace intrigue in the murder of a queen's maid. Definitely an intricate plot that keeps you on your toes. "

" Historical thriller set in Elizabethan England does a good job of integrating the "historical" and the "thriller" aspects of its story. "
