By far the most interesting book I've read all year and I realized how much I love political intrigue and plotting. I never in my life expected I would relate to Francis Bacon but here we are. Love that the author made him an unreliable narrator so it really keeps you guessing.

However, the ending was a bit difficult to read because it was so tense - if you have a hard time with books that don't have happy endings, don't read this one! It's definitely a good read but maybe not for everyone.
