Excellent read....

I really enjoyed this book. Lots of twists and turns, drama and intrigue. There should be a part 2.

A good, old-fashioned, amazing "What If"

Fans of Dan Brown (The DaVinci Code) and Kathleen McGowan (The Magdalene Line Series) will LOVE this big "what if", about the youngest queen of Henry VIII, and the juicy coverup that unravels. And this first book is only the beginning...so excited to continue onto the next one!

Awesome narration by Emma Gregory.

Different perspective on an old presumption

This will be short and sweet, typing on my phone. Absolutely enjoyed this book. Kept grabbing my phone to continue listening, even while outside. It is not predictable and it is not a bodice ripper. The tale stands on its own with. a unique look at Catherine Howard and an alternative story. . Treat yourself and have a listen. I'm off to book #2!

Must read!

I hesitate to listen to this story. Love all things Tudor related, but Catherine Howard is not among my favorites. So I took a chance...so happy I did!!! This is now by far one of my favorite books can't wit to listen to the next one.

Love Tudor History

Fascinating story line!

You can almost believe it is true, all woven together with history. Great transition from present to past. And then tying up everything. Can hardly wait to start next book.
