Please join me at this week’s Book Beginnings link party hosted by Rose City Reader. My book today is “The King’s Deception” by Steve Berry which is the eighth book in the Cotton Malone series. Here are the first lines:
“Prologue
Whitehall Palace
January 28, 1547
“Katherine Parr saw that the end was approaching. Only a few more days remained, maybe a mere few hours.”
If you read my blog regularly, you will know that I enjoy historical fiction regarding England’s royalty and that this book started with that was a pleasant surprise. As usual, this book is a fun adventure with lots of historical references thrown in.

I haven’t read any English historical fiction in quite a long time! I wonder what end Katherine Parr is seeing, whether it’s hers or Henry’s! I hope you enjoy this one! And happy Fourth of July! Thanks for sharing 🙂 I hope you have a great weekend!

I don’t read a lot of historical ones but this week alone I’ve come across plenty that I want to read….I think I’m converting ^_^
This sounds interesting too, and the end to what exactly? Definitely intrigued

I enjoy historical fiction too. THANKS for sharing this title.
I read another book about Katherine Parr, but right now the book’s title escapes me. It was good.
Have a great day.

Thanks to you for stopping by and commenting! I was sad to come to the end of the series (for now). I hope he writes more with this character.
She led a sad life.
I think most of Henry VIII’s wives had sad and tragic lives. Thanks so much for visiting and commenting!
