A Divine Fury Reviews

In A Divine Fury, D.V. Bishop leads us on another darkly atmospheric journey through Medici Florence, keeping us constantly on our toes. Who can we trust and whom should we run from? I look forward to finding out what Cesare Aldo does next -- S. G. MacLean, prize-winning author of the Seeker series
D.V. Bishop has such tremendous flair for a thrilling plot, a gruesome mystery, and engaging, relatable characters. It keeps you hooked and guessing all the way to its conclusion. With contemporary relevance about secrecy, hidden lives and cover-ups, Bishops books are stories to lose yourself in, with all the sights, sounds and smells of 16C Florence. But above all, this is the very finest in historical thriller storytelling -- Kate Foster, author of The Maiden, Winner of the Bloody Scotland Crime Debut of the Year
In Cesare Aldo Bishop gives us a Florentine Shardlake and this is his best escapade yet -- David Hewson, author of the Nic Costa series
Its hard to think of a better guide than D. V. Bishop to the brutality and glamour of Renaissance Florence -- Andrew Taylor, bestselling author of The Royal Secret
Fast becoming a serious rival to C. J. Sansom and S. J. Parris * Historical Novel Society *
A deft and engrossing historical thriller set in Renaissance Florence drawing on the fascinating and troubling legacy of Girolamo Savonarola. I thoroughly enjoyed the latest - and I think best - in D. V. Bishop's brilliant series -- Anna Mazzola, author of The Clockwork Girl, on Ritual of Fire
D. V. Bishop once again immerses us in sixteenth-century Florence and the heady intrigues of Renaissance Italy. Aldo is a magnificent creation -- Vaseem Khan, author of Midnight at Malabar House, on Ritual of Fire
This brilliant series from one of the UK's most talented writers of historical crime fiction just gets better and better. Macabre, bloody and sinister, DV Bishop's mix of fast paced plotting and historical detail is a masterful example of historical crime fiction at its finest -- E. S. Thomson, longlisted for the CWA Endeavour Historical Dagger
