The Quality of Mercy by Faye Kellerman




Genre: Fiction + History + Thriller

About: The story is set during the Elizabethan age. Filled with poltical and religious intrigue. A story of mystery, romance and bawdy stuffs. Did i mention William Shakepeare is the hero? Yup. THE William Shakespeare. :p

My Review: I'm a fan of her husband (she's married to Jonathan Kellerman-see review on "Doctor Death") and seriously i thought its stupid to read the wife's book as well.. But i was bent on picking her book, decided to give it a shot. And it was worth it. I love this book. Damn well-crafted. Willy having an affair, Henry Whitman a supposed "buggerer", men with sense of romance the "Italian way" and the Queen a lesbian? Haha! Hmmm..But the novel is rather draggy i think. But fun and witty! Has almost every genre packed in this book. Awesome.

My Rating: 4.5/5
