Critics Review
Once again, Tracy Borman has given us an outstanding page-turner, a stunning novel of the corrupt and dangerous Jacobean court, in which a courageous heroine pits her wits against a very nasty and determined villain. This is historical fiction at its absolute best. A fitting end to a fabulous trilogy! * Alison Weir *
Brings unexpected twists and turns with every page, leaving readers in no doubt that Tracy Borman is the mistress of intrigue and suspense as she brings the schemings and power struggles of the Jacobean court vividly to life. With a masterfully crafted plot that keeps readers enthralled until the very end, Borman’s meticulous art for storytelling is unbeatable. A truly stunning narrative that’s pure gold for lovers of historical fiction * Nicola Tallis *
George Villiers, the Duke of Buckingham, swaggers onto centre stage in the concluding part of Tracy Borman’s Frances Gorges trilogy… lots of fascinating detail and insight into James’s backstabbing court… an enjoyable read * The Times *
Frances remains an engaging heroine and Borman’s depiction of Villiers, with all his ruthless charisma, is striking * The Sunday Times *
Tracy Borman’s The Fallen Angel is the third in her trilogy of novels set in the compelling, claustrophobic, world of the Jacobean court, where her heroine, herbalist Frances Gorges, is in danger of falling foul of James I’s witchcraft laws. As a serious historian and Joint Chief Curator of Historic Royal Palaces, Borman might easily have been mired in the records. Instead she uses them to invent an utterly compelling alternative reality. It’s lush, wholly convincing and utterly gripping. Fact and fiction have rarely been blent so seamlessly * Sarah Gristwood *
