I bought this because of Upstart Crow and Shakespeare in Love and I couldn’t think of Kit as anyone except for Rupert Everett. And I’m not sure if I missed vital bits but I had no fckng idea what was going on but it was pretty good and a bit funny.

I got a two-in-one so I’m reading the second - if this gets good...

Decent narration, OK story, but I'm not sure I'll read more of the series. It doesn't get into spy work in this book, but I think it will in others and that might help with the plot. I initially added this one because I saw a book later in the series, [b:Scorpions' Nest|15850577|Scorpions' Nest (Kit Marlowe, #4)|M.J. Trow|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1347983442s/15850577.jpg|21597276], that looked good. I think that one's book 5.

1583 Cambridge. Christopher Marlowe is concerned when his friend Ralph Whitingside has not been seen for several days, especially as they are about to graduate. He is found dead in his chambers and Kit investigates because he believes he was murdered. But when another body is discovered what could be the possible motive or is there any connection.
An entertaining well-written historical mystery with various likeable characters. A good start to the series.

An okay mystery, but a pretty unlikeable protagonist and indistinct characterizations of most of the Cambridge set otherwise.
