Publisher's summary

The fiery star of the company of players called Lord Westfield’s Men, Laurence Firethorn, is hot for a lady, wife of the Lord Mayor elect. A tryst at London's Nine Giants Inn is arranged. Meanwhile, the lugubrious landlord of the actors' home base is laid even lower by a plot to take over ownership of the inn. A young apprentice actor is subjected to a horrible assault and a waterman pulls a mangled corpse from the Thames.

The drama comes to a climax at the annual Lord Mayor's show as his barge moves grandly down the river....

enjoyable, but another slow start

I read this series as it came out, and while I always bought the next installment, the cardboard characterization did bother me. I enjoyed this books as well, but I would not cogitate too long on some of the plot points. Some further the plot, but by the end of the book some of the plot points are contradicted to at least a certain degree. But like the plot, don't read too deeply into my criticisms as I have been returning to each installment with pleasure.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
