5.0

The first of the Lord John Grey novels and it was a delight.

From a revealing glance while at the chamber pot reveals that his brother-in-law to-be has the pox, to the murder of a soldier, to the theft of military intelligence to the molly houses of London, this is a delightful adventure. Lush with details and atmosphere, it is an interesting glimpse at life in society as a noble man who is gay in a time when it was not something that could be safely known by others in general.
