Blurb; Betrayal has many guises…
London, 1593: Five years on from the Armada and England is taking its first faltering steps towards a future as a global power. Nicholas Shelby – reluctant spy and maverick physician – and his companion Bianca Merton are settling into a life on Bankside. But in London there is always a plot afoot…
Robert Cecil, the Queen’s spymaster, once again recruits Nicholas to embark on a dangerous undercover mission that will take him to the back alleys of Marrakech in search of a missing informer. However, while Nicholas hunts for the truth across the seas, plague returns once more to London – ravaging the streets and threatening those dearest to him.
Can Bianca and Nicholas’ budding relationship weather the threats of pestilence and conspiracy? And will Nicholas survive the dangers of his mission in a hostile city to return safely home?
My Review; Yay. I am so glad to be back with this series. This is book three in the Nicholas Shelby series. Best read in order. It was lovely to be back with the gang but especially Nicholas and Bianca. Another brilliantly written story for me to stick my teeth into. It had me hooked. Will admit it took me a while to finish it. But it was worth every second. Again we see the characters placed in tough decisions and consequences due to a plague…
Will they all avoid the plague? Nicholas is sent to Marrakech but does not expect the unfriendly welcome and soon becomes suspicious that something is not right… Will he make it back to London? To Bianca?
I really hope there is more to come for this series. Fingers crossed. A well deserved four stars from me. Highly recommend the whole series. Something different. For once can I say a happyish ending? Which makes a change from the usual death defying and risks they all take.
