"Conspiracies are always intriguing and those of Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare are no exception. I was slowly and steadily pulled into this story and was kept there right up until the end. A fascinating and interesting tale. An enjoyable read." — Christine (4 out of 5 stars)

" Well, it was a bit different, but the plot itself was kind of clunky and it was difficult to keep track of what, exactly, the author was aiming for in spots. "
" Another interesting version of the murder of Kit Marlowe. I enjoyed this immensely. "
" Although there is plenty of evidence showing that Marlowe was involved in the espionage dealings of Elizabeth I's time, this novel felt sort of "forced" to me. It was ok, but I wasn't really engaged by the characters or the plot. "
" Three and a half stars.Good Elizabethan Historical thriller "
