Traitor's Codex by Jeri Westerson

What a great book! Jeri Westerson does a fabulous job of weaving this tale together, bringing readers on an adventure that is going to stay with them long after the book has finished.

Grab Traitor's Codex this weekend and dive into an adventure that will leave you breathless!

I have not read the first 11 books in this series, but I think I might start at the beginning and work through, reading this one again at the end. There are some things that I feel would have made more sense if I had read the other books first.

I don't recall how I first encountered Westerson's first Crispin Guest novel, but it was very soon after it was placed on Amazon. Since then I have eagerly awaited each new release, and devoured immediately. This story is similar to the other's yet interestingly different. If you enjoyed her previous novels, this one is equally entertaining.

This was my first time reading anything by this author, so I was not familiar with the series, but it wasn't too hard to pick up. Set in the reign of Richard II this seemed well researched with some cameos from some historical figures! It was the kind of book you end up looking for additional historical information about, and the end note helpfully explains where the author diverged from history. I found the characters well written and I would be happy to read more about Crispin and Jack's adventures. Instead of one mystery, there are several cleverly interwoven including the possible murder of the Queen and a mysterious document which could be a lost gospel. If you are a fan of the Shardlake series, I think you would probably enjoy reading this too.
