Rory Clements had a wonderful debut novel with Martyr(my review) and introduced us to William Shakespeare’s older (and fictional) brother John who was in the spy trade. Clements new novel, Revenger, comes back 5 years later with several things changed, but soon we’re back in the 16th century intrigue. This book has a little more of William and a little less of the Catholic/Protestant power struggle that was going on at the time. So, let’s see what’s intriguing in Queen Elizabeth’s court.

Martyr by Rory Clements
There have been a lot of historical mystery’s lately, several of them include historical figures as the detective. In Rory Clements novel Martyr, he uses a historical figure’s brother as the main character. John Shakespeare, older brother of William (yes William doesn’t have an older brother in real life, this is a out of wedlock brother by another mother, but that isn’t touched on too much). The book is a well done mystery in an interesting time period. So let’s see what it’s about.
