Review: A GOOD READ

If I summarize the story, I will spoil the book for other readers, however, I will simply say that a skeleton was found in a house in England that dated back to the time of Elizabeth I.  This discovery began a great adventure for Cassandra and a good read.  I have read other books by Irina Shapiro and have enjoyed them and this one was no exception.  Was it historically accurate; no, not really.  Did that destroy the story for me; no, not at all.  The characters were likeable and engaging and the story grabbed my interest from the very beginning.  I enjoy a little of the supernatural in books as well as a love story so this one kept me engaged until the very end.I recommend this book to other readers who enjoy historical fiction with a little spookiness.  I also recommend books by Susanna Kearsley as her stories include a supernatural element that will keep a reader at the edge of her seat.
