| What are some good novels about British royalty?
"I'm currently enjoying Rosalind Miles'"I, Elizabeth" (New York: Three Rivers, 1994), but earlier this month, I finished C. J. Sansom's "Sovereign" (London: Penguin, 2006), which centers around a lawyer, Matthew Shardlake, who investigates mysteries for Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII's chief Minister from 1532 to 1540. Sansom has written two other very well-researched mystery novels that focus on Henry VIII's reign--"Dark Fire" (2004) and "Dissolution" ((2004). All of these historical novels make for entertaining, but informative, summer reading!
