A review by courtneyps
The Dead Queens Club by Hannah Capin

I sort of expected this premise to feel a little clunky. Henry VIII in high school, executions and all? But it TOTALLY WORKED. The author included a lot of easter eggy details and 1-1 correlations to history, which were fun to recognize but didn’t stick out within the story of you didn’t spot them. The mystery felt a little convoluted—a lot of info through gossip—but then isn’t that just like Hampton Court? And Cleves’s voice was SO fun. I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator was hilarious.
