"A good attempt and a worthwhile read, but there is much conjecture and one never really gets to know the people in the book: it is too far in the past."
"A good description about the life of Kings Henry II, Richard I and King John. A pity we don't know more about Eleanor herself. It is a very interesting read but could be a bit heavy going for some."
"A very readable account of those dark days of the late 15th century. Well written and never dull, there is no sitting on the fence with Alison arguing her case with logic and clarity."
"A very short introduction to those put to death at the Tower of London from 1483 - 1601. Wouldn't say they were all traitors though. Only 75 pages of text."
"A very vivid portrayal of Tudor life during the turbulent times of religious persecutions. Well written and thought provoking with many "what if?" scenarios."
"This is a remarkable indepth study of the murder of Mary's second husband. It goes into incredible detail and is Alison's most testing book; but is a rewarding read if you are able to persist!"
