Great book. Sad that the series has ended, though.
Please be aware that there is graphic descriptions of torture, and domestic abuse in this book.

I am (or at least was) quite a slow reader. Never really committing enough time to get through a book at speed. To have read this one (and its predecessor) in a little over a week each, is somewhat of a miracle for me. But. It is testament to how gripped I have been with the storytelling that I have managed this. I loved this one just as much as the last and so, on to the final book. No idea what i will be reading after that but can't see anything matching the Seeker series.

The 5th, and what should be the final Damian Seeker but turns out there is a 6th one out in paperback later this year!
It didn’t disappoint, I have loved this series (and yes I’ve pre-ordered the next one) 🤓

Whilst his enemies believe him dead, Damian Seeker is very much alive and living undercover in Bruges tracking a group of Royalists. When an old woman arrives at the Engle Kloster ready to donate all her money to the restoration of Charles, she asks this group for an escort but in the process of this they are ambushed and Hildred Beaumont is killed. Her maid is none other than Lady Anne Winter, Seeker's nemesis, in disguise and When Lady Beaumont's son turns up, Seeker finds that their are potential betrayals at every turn.
I was sad to hear that this was the last outing for MacLean's anti hero as I'd really enjoyed these tales which are set during the Commonwealth which is an unusual period for historical fiction. In this book the action takes place in and around Bruges and it is vividly brought to life through thorough research. As ever the plot is cleverly put together with different narrative lines all converging at the end.
