I absolutely loved this book. It was one of those that I thought about when I wasn't reading it and was disappointed when I finished it (because there was no more, not because of the writing). I love books that make me think and introduce me to something that I might know little or nothing about. This book was one of those books. If you like historical fiction and suspense, you'll love this book. The characters feel real (and in fact, some of them actually existed in history), the storyline is not one that you can guess how it will turn out. I learned a lot about restoration era London, the Fleet ditch and river (I had no idea it is now hidden under the streets), royalty in the mid 1600's, how medicine was practiced back then and lots more. But it's no dry history book, read it and see.
