It is in the first place A GREAT UNIQUE MYSTERY, EXCELLENT WRITTEN, with ONLY ONE main character - Nick Nowak, a private investigator. And Boystown 6 is even LESS a romance than the previous books.

That particularly applies a romance genre.īut Boystown it is not a ROMANCE. Very often they are nothing else than countless number of misunderstandings, cheating and very unreal situations. I have to confess that I'm not a big fan of endless series. The good news - Marshall Thornton plans at least 10 sequels. The bad news - we have to wait one year for the next book. He is one of the most AMAZING, GIFTED, EXPRESSIVE and the best ONE PERSON'S POV WRITERS that this genre can offer. I should have better trusted Marshall Thornton's writing skills. NOTHING.Īnd.I was afraid: 'What if the book 6 wont't be as good as I hoped?!' I spent ALMOST the whole day checking Amazon every 10 Min. You can't even imagine HOW I was waiting for it. It is why I was afraid to read the book 6. Andrew Taylor seems to leave open the possibility of a sequel or two, which would be very welcome.It was almost IMPOSSIBLE to overtop it. This is an excellent story – wonderfully well plotted, with credible, well-rounded characters that fit well into the milieu of Restoration England. Both of them are sucked into events stranger and more dangerous than they could ever have envisaged. The lives of Marwood and Cat move ever closer, unwittingly linked by the fanatical, millennial beliefs of their fathers. Paul’s in the fire, and then James accompanies his employer to visit her former home, to investigate the murder of one of the servants of the house, whose body was found in the burned out St Paul’s. The paths of Cat and James had met when she steals his cloak whilst they both watch the destruction of St.

She is to be married off to an old roué, much to her disgust, and when she is raped by the son of the family, and she takes her violent revenge, she escapes from their clutches. In a parallel story, Cat Lovett is a young heiress forced to live with distant relations in their rambling house in Holborn after the disgrace of her father, a hunted regicide. James’s father, a printer, was a convicted Fifth Monarchist, who had been imprisoned for participating in Thomas Venner’s 1661 uprising, but is now entering senility. James Marwood, the narrator, who works as an underling reporter for Joseph Williamson, who in turn is in the employ of the Earl of Arlington, is despatched to discover what the feelings on the streets are amongst the populace about the conflagration.
