The Poisoner Mysteries

review 1: I kind of adore the Poisoner mysteries. They're pretty much what I am hoping to get -- and generally don't -- when I read Philippa Gregory. They're engaging, well-written, entertaining, sexy, and great fun. Sure, it's easier working with invented characters in a historical setting than trying to get in the minds of actual people, but Sara Poole doesn't try and couch her characters in "certes" and "forsooths" in an effort to toss in period inappropriate dialogue. It makes for a much better read. And for the most part, her history is pretty on point. These are great fun, and I can't wait for more of them. She's got so much more Borgia history to go!
review 2: Well now, THAT was one hell of an ending. Didn't see the Cathar heresy popping up. Still, I was hoping fo... morer an epic confrontation between Francesca and that mad monk Morozzi. That means there jus HAS to be another novel in the works.Granted, the appearance of Mother Berndette and her knowing Francesca's history wasn't all that surprising and of course I'd long suspected her motives. However that didn't get in the way of the breakneck pacing and of my admiration of Francesca. She really is a marvelous creation and very real. It is apparent to me those who criticize her characterization as being "too modern", are unaware of women's history and frankly, history in general. Though Francesca Giordano is fiction, there were many women in the past who not only chafed against the restrictions placed upon their gender, but defied them--with varying degrees of success. A wise and politically savvy man as Rodrigo Borgia, would not have been stupid to turn away any assistance that kept him in power, including a female poisoner. less
