If you’re a fan of period dramas but the prospect of reading a heavy tome puts you off, Shirley McKay’s new book is ideal.
This entertaining book is set in 1588, the year of the Spanish Armada. It’s divided into five short stories.
While each one is self-contained, it’s also linked to the next yarn and all feature Hew Cullan and other characters from her popular Hew Cullan series.
Shirley delivers five gripping tales, from the grotesque murder of a candlemaker to vanishing corpses and a story set around Christmas that makes it perfect for popping into someone’s stocking this year.
