Yes | No“i didn't even realize that this plot to blow up parliment existed. so hearing about a part of history that was previously unknown to me definitely helped to keep my interest. it sometimes got bogged down with the number of people that were involved in the plot but it was still an entertaining piece of historical fiction.”

Definitely an author I’ll read again … eagerly. ”
