I read this book because it was a feature recommendation by the library staff and I like historical novels with a bit of mystery and romance. However, this book did not live up to my expectations although I read the entire thing. Janet Evanovich meets Phillipa Gregory! The plot was intriguing but after about 100 pages I realized I didn't really care for the characters or the "mystery". Another reviewer used the word "cheesy" regarding the action scenes, and it also describes the whole book quite well in my opinion. Tedious, with a lot of "Excuse me?!" type of expressions. "Silly" would about cover this so-called "saga".
