Dark Queen Rising is a new mystery series by Paul Doherty. Although, the mystery in this story doesn’t start until halfway through the book. What this book is about, however, is the political machinations between the Houses of Lancaster and York.
As ever, Doherty brings the medieval period vividly to life. There is plenty and intrigue and blood-curdling moments. This book is really an historical take on the period rather than a full-blown mystery novel. Fans expecting an Athelstan or Corbett novel will be disappointed. However, what does shine through, as ever, is Doherty’s storytelling. The characters are all typical Doherty characters.
Dark Queen Rising, is a different book, still a satisfying read and a worthy addition to the increasing Doherty cannon of books.
