[On THE THOMAS TREVIOT SERIES] Derek Wilson is a fine historian - and he can also tell a gripping story. This is historical fiction at its best, effortlessly underpinned by a wealth of research by a writer whose understanding of the period is profound. -- Alison Weir, author of Katherine of Aragon, The True Queen and Innocent Traitor
Going one better than the C. J. Sansom's Shardlake series and penned with the force of a Robert Harris narrative, D. K. Wilson's Devil's Chalice is the 3rd historical novel with the charming and adventurous Goldsmith Thomas Treviot and his household of characters as they unravel royal plots and sedition in Tudor London. This historical thriller pushes all the right buttons and gallops through the fall of 1549 intrigue towards a 'courtroom drama' finale in the King's Privy Council. A great read! -- Unattributed
Perfectly balances fact and fiction * History of Royals *
A must-read for anyone who enjoys historical thrillers like those of C.J. Sansom -- Claire Ridgway * The Tudor Society *
