4 stars! This book was good. Well written, lots of research that showed in the little details. Another one that reads like fiction but is really history. The King and ‘that woman’ did more shady things than I ever realized; was any of it treason? Very interesting and definitely gives us a closer look at these people. There were a few places that it got dry and more of telling the reader an info dump of facts. But, they are important facts that flesh out the story so just keep going. I understand Mr. Larman has written several other books and I will be looking for those at the library. He writes very well and I liked this book. Thank you #NetGalley for my copy.
