In the tradition of The Marlowe Papers by Ros Barber, the debut historical fiction novel Blood and Ink tells the story of Christopher (Kit) Marlowe, the dark and brooding playwright of Queen Elizabeth's court. Marlowe sells his soul to gain the one thing he desires: to see his name immortalized.
Inspired at an early age on the banks of the Stour River, his passion for a goose quill and ink thrusts him into the labyrinth of England's underworld - a secret spy ring created by the Queen's spymaster, Sir Frances Walsingham. Kit suffers the whips and scorns of time as he witnesses the massacre of Paris, the hypocrisy of the church, the rejection from his 'dark lady', the theft of his identity as a playwright, and wrenching loss breathing life into many of his unforgettable characters.
As he sinks further into the clutches of Walsingham, a masque is written by his own hand to save his life from shadowing betrayers, from the Queen's own Star Chamber, and from the Jesuit assassins of Rome, thus sending him into exile and allowing an unknown actor from Stratford-upon-Avon, William Shakespeare, to step into his shoes. And so begins the lie; and yet, what will a man not do to regain his name?

The story follows Kit Marlowe’s life from a young boy with an invisible muse through a life of espionage in the service of the queen. The book suggests Marlowe was not killed in a bar fight but was hiding from Papists who wanted to kill him. While hiding, he wrote Shakespeare’s plays. Sonnets and play excerpts weaved throughout give legitimacy to the theory and make for an enjoyable read.
I said “acted by,” because Jon Dixon did so much more than simply read this book. With an impressive range of voices and accents, he performed each character with a distinctive air. The haughty voice of the queen, the snarly tone of the archbishop, and French, German, Italian and dozens of different English inflections make it hard to believe the book is narrated by only one person.
I loved every minute of it.

I was impressed throughout this novel at the skill of the author in writing about two exceptional writers. How does one put the thoughts of Marlowe into words, words that sound like they could be his? I confess that I could not. Marley does a beautiful job of it, and Dixon is the ideal narrator for this story.
This is certainly a book that I will return to, either in print or to listen to this wonderful production again.
Brilliant story!

Kit (Christopher) sold to a benefactor is forced to become a spy in exchange for education and to someday become the Queens favorite.
Honestly what I knew of Marlowe came from Shakespeare In Love and I read a little about him in the middle of the book, just to know how accurate the book is. It's a wonderful story, especially is you love all the intrigue of the Elizabethan period.
The narrator has a great voice for the period speech. But here lies the problem for me, especially in the first half of the book, the voice, the speech put me to sleep. I'd have to actively listen or I'd get lost or nap. The back half there is a lot of drama and it isn't a problem.
It's a fantastic story and worth the extra effort.
Great Story
