Started really well, but the more the book goes on, the more we see some issues with the pacing and (especially) the characterization. Also, the representation did not convince me, there was something off about it.

If you are looking for an exciting Elizabethan mystery novel then this is the book for you. I for one was hooked immediately when I read the opening sentence which was hilarious. I won't write it here because for one it is slightly offensive (still funny though) and I figured other readers should have a chance to read it for themselves. It tells the story of one young man's journey to track down the Queen’s almost assassin.
Our main focus is on a young man in Tudor England named Jack. He is the son of a man who is well known for petty theft crimes however, Jack is wanting to put that life behind him. When the Queen becomes victim for a failed assassination plot Jack immediately jumps to the chance to prove himself worthy to help track down the person. However, some of his informants end up getting killed and he wonders if it is even worth it to find the person.
I received an arc copy from Netgalley and all opinions are of my own.
