The English Agent by Phillip DePoy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
3.5 stars, rounded up.
#2 in the Christopher Marlowe Mystery series.
From mom.
I would have enjoyed more if I had read the first book in the series prior to this – and if my schedule had allowed more reading in one sitting, instead of the short bursts over a period of 10 days. Starting and stopping, I found it difficult to keep the locations and intrigues straight. Again, if I had read the first book, I believe I would have had a clearer understanding.
The writing is crisp and evocative. The history, research, and plotting, ingenious.
I need to get a copy of the first book in. the series (and the third) and then read all of them in order. It’s definitely worth another look.
