review 1: This is an ok read with some odd ideas about England from an American writer - we smoke camel no 9 cigarettes and drive town cars and apparently starkers means bonkers. A ripping if naive yarn with huge plot holes, larger than life stereotypes (a kind of poor mans Maltese falcon) However it intrigued me enough to research the historical figure it features throughout - Thomas Harriet and that was a fascinating journey which led me to feeling much more generous in my review than the book probably deserves
review 2: The School of Night was an engaging page-turner. It reminded me somewhat of Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness because of the School of Night and some of the same characters. What is the treasure? Who Killed Who? Where does the map lead? What was the ... moreletter about? Who was Walter Ralegh? Who was Thomas Harriot? What is or was the School of Night? Why is it back in session? Follow the story; follow the map; intrigue, mysteries, answers, treasure, and love is found within. less
