To Kill a Monarch is not your typical historical romance where hero meets heroine, conflict ensues, then is resolved for a tidy happily-ever-after.From page one until the end, Ms. Brousseau's skillfully woven twists and turns keep the reader guessing. I have to confess, I figured out who the phantom was early on, but that didn't take away from the intrigue or mystery. It was an nice change of pace to see the French as the 'good guys' rather than the expected British.The interesting and colorful cast of characters added a nice dimension to this historical suspense with its surprise ending. You'll want to plan on dedicating an afternoon or evening to reading the book. Once you start, you won't want to stop.I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review of this book.
