The Canterbury Papers: A Novel by Judith Healey
3/5 stars
I’m getting tired of saying “this was better than expected” so I guess I’ll have to expect better in the future! A gutsy, smart heroine; a bunch of royalty, knights, and monks; mysterious kidnappings and letters; and love, passion, and old betrayal. There’s a lot in this book. The dialog is fun, the emotion good (if a bit over-dramatic at times), and the action is well-played. Oh, and it takes place in 1200, so there are horses and maids and everything, thankfully excepting the body odor and diseases of the time.
The author might be working on another, and I’ll probably read it if she does!
