A Flaw in the Blood
When Queen Victoria lost her beloved Prince Albert in 1861 the world was told that he died of typhoid fever. Although that is almost certainly not what killed him, the exact cause of Albert’s death is not likely to ever be determined. A Flaw in the Blood, Stephanie Barron’s Victorian thriller, speculates that something much more sinister than mere disease was the cause of death.

This sounds good! I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't the one where Albert is a werewolf?
ReplyDeleteWait. That's a Dr Who ep. Never mind.
It's interesting, Samantha. I had a little bit of a slow start with it but once the characters became familiar to me it went well.
ReplyDeleteWow, Carrie...what the heck is that one? :-)
ReplyDeleteI found the beginning very slow as well and agree about the main characters, but the take on Victoria, Albert, and the "flaw in the blood" fascinated me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for turning me on to the book, Jenclair. The whole premise fascinated me...but I really do hope that Victoria wasn't quite the murderous cold fish portrayed in the novel. :-)
