The Lying Dutchman by Graham Brack
4.0
The year is 1685 and Protestant minister/Catholic priest/University lecturer Master Mercurius has once again been summoned by Staudhouder William of Orange.William and his wife Mary are next in line for the English throne, but the Duke of Monmouth is planning a rebellion to make his own claim to the throne. William sends Mercurius on a dangerous mission to keep that from happening.
This is the sixth book in this historical mystery series that is full of humor and makes history come alive. The book is clearly well-researched and is based on actual events. I prefer the books in this series that are murder mysteries as opposed to adventures like this one. However, it’s still a good book since Mercurius is such a likable character and his dry wit is a pleasure to read. I really like the ending, too. This series is perfect for readers who appreciate historical mysteries that include humor along with facts.
