Take the War of the Roses + an alternate timeline = a top notch thriller!  The English countryside, people, food and historical buildings are beautifully written.  You care about the people, you want to have a pint at the White Boar, and you especially want to wander the countryside, homes and libraries.  The story moves at a good clip, without feeling rushed or leaving anything out.  The excitement and mystery starts with the first sentence and doesn't end with the last sentence.I really liked how Richard III was portrayed as the victim of the Tudors -- which I believe history will bear out.  The fight between the Plantagenet and the Tudors for the throne were especially nasty and the victors do write the history of the conflict.  Having some knowledge of the the War of the Roses helps, but isn't necessary to really enjoy this tale.I purchased the other two fictional stories and have been enjoying them as much as I loved The Plantagenet Vendetta.  Looking forward to all future stories from John.
