Giordano Bruno

review 1: This is the second of these books by Ms. Parris and I look forward to her next. I have been turned on by historical mystery and with Giordano Bruno as the protagonist still hiding out in England to escape being arrested as a heretic and actually acting as a spy for England in the French embassy the story tightens. And when John Dee gets in trouble for his actions the story tightens. Find out how Giordano solves the murder of two young women in Queen Elizabeth's court.
review 2: How did a killer get so close to the Queen that one of Her Majesty’s maids, a girl of noble birth, has been murdered? Elizabeth’s spymaster, Sir Francis Walsingham, sends the Italian heretic Giordano Bruno to unmask a killer and preserve the Queen. Blending real historical figure... mores with a work of fiction, Parris gives us another devious mystery. Giordano Bruno was a fascinating man. He ran afoul of the Inquisition due to his keen intellect, his questioning nature, and his belief is such heretical thoughts as the planets revolving around the sun. Walsingham could have taught modern day spies a thing or two, nothing escaped his notice. If you dropped a pin in a European capitol during Walsingham’s time, he probably knew before it hit the ground. less
