Despite the fact that there is a certain amount of repetition in the Crowner John novels, it has a rather comforting familiarity. You feel as if you know the characters and all their quirks. The stories are always interesting and the times and customs well portrayed.
From an online auction site I've just picked up copies of Martha Rofheart's "Cry God for Harry", about Henry V ( "once more unto the breach, dear friends---") and "The Alexandrian", her novel about Cleopatra, which is supposed to be one of the best historical novels on the subject. Given recent discussions about Cleopatra, I'm looking forward to that one.
