I've got a copy of this one coming to me soon. I think what intrigues me about this one is the spy story element.<br /><br />I've been so wrapped up in my various mystery series lately that I've been away from Historical Fiction for too long. Sounds like this will be a nice blend of both.SuziQoregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15552565982732943323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-21169408679340735212011-02-23T22:16:45.958-05:002011-02-23T22:16:45.958-05:00I'm so glad you liked this one so much as it&#...I'm so glad you liked this one so much as it's sitting on my shelf and now I am really excited to read it!

It is mainly the reason you mention, I am tired of the same thing over and over again. I think I just read too much of it for a while there and burned myself out. This does sound good, but I haven't gotten around to Gortner at all yet. One of these days I will!Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.com
