Heresy Zusammenfassung

Heresy (Giordano Bruno, Book 1) S. J. Parris

The first book in the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling series

The first book in S. J. Parriss bestselling, critically acclaimed series following Giordano Bruno, set at the time of Queen Elizabeth I

In Elizabeths England, true faith can mean bloody murder

Oxford, 1583. A place of learning. And murderous schemes.

The country is rife with plots to assassinate Queen Elizabeth and return the realm to the Catholic faith. Giordano Bruno is recruited by the queens spymaster and sent undercover to expose a treacherous conspiracy in Oxford but his own secret mission must remain hidden at all costs.

A spy under orders. A coveted throne under threat.

When a series of hideous murders ruptures close-knit college life, Bruno is compelled to investigate. And what he finds makes it brutally clear that the Tudor throne itself is at stake

Perfect for fans of C. J. Sansom and Hilary Mantel

Heresy Bewertungen

Heresy has everything intrigue, mystery, excellent history and haunting sense of place. The beginning of a wonderful new detective series Kate Mosse

Fascinating The period is incredibly vivid and the story utterly gripping Conn Iggulden (bestselling author of Bones of the Hills and The Dangerous Book for Boys)

Heresy is a riveting read. Rich in both historical detail and ingenious twists, S J Parris has created a character in Giordano Bruno that will endure. A true rival to C J Sansom Sam Bourne (bestselling author of The Righteous Men)

Heresy is a must-read for every fan of historical thrillers. S. J. Parris transports the reader back to an extraordinary time in history by mobilizing fascinating details, suspense, and fully-drawn characters. Giordano Bruno turns out to be that rare hero, charismatic and nuanced enough to impel an encore, and to leave us asking for more from the gifted Parris Matthew Pearl (author of The Dante Club)

'Parris paces her yarn perfectly' Daily Telegraph

'An atmospheric and well-written historical thriller' Guardian

'Parris succeeds where much historical fiction fails' Observer

'The places and people are vividly described with a merciful absence of period language, and the solution to this exciting, well-written tale comes as a real surprise' Literary Review
