When Gods Die: A Sebastian St. Cyr Mystery

The young wife of an aging marquis is found murdered in the arms of the Prince Regent. Around her neck lies a necklace said to have been worn by Druid priestesses-that is, until it was lost at sea with its last owner, Sebastian St. Cyr's mother. Now Sebastian is lured into a dangerous investigation of the marchioness's death-and his mother's uncertain fate.

As he edges closer to the truth-and one murder follows another-he confronts a conspiracy that imperils those nearest him and threatens to bring down the monarchy.

My favorite part about historical fiction is how I learn about a period of history while enjoying a storyline. I knew very little about the Hanoverian dynasty until I read this novel. In order to understand the political unrest at the time I needed to research King George III, why his son was so disliked as Prince Regent and how this all tied into the mystery. Well written characters and a good plot line. Looking forward the next in the series.
