The Ashes of London

The Ashes of London by Andrew Taylor paints a very vivid picture of the Great Fire of London in 1666. It is also a detective story, and as such quite suspenseful. The two main characters hardly interact, leaving the reader to wonder until the next 5 books of the series are advertised at the end of the e-book. They become better acqainted in the subsequent books, so we might have to read on to know more. Definitely a recommendable read.

Upcoming books:

22 May A Single Thread by Tracy Chevalier (tentative meeting date)

19 June to be announced
