Firedrake Eye Patricia Finney 9780312180942 Books

My main question is to the Amazon/ Kindle people: WHY have the OTHER two of the three books in this series on Kindle and NOT have this one, the first in the series?

Patricia Finney also writes under the name P.F. Chisholm....under which she has written the great "Sir Robert Carey" mystery series, also set in Elizabethan times...it DOES need to be read in order, and is a highly recommended series of novels/ mysteries. Sir Robert Carey was a real person, an almost "perfect" Elizabethan courtier, closely related to Queen Elizabeth I......

The books about the Enys twins ("Do We Not Bleed") are also interconnected with the Sir Robert Carey series but that book should be read AFTER reading the Sir Robert Carey series.

All of Patricia Finney's (aka PF Chisholm) books have great Elizabethan flavor. I had a little trouble following "Tom" at the start, but I persevered and it was worth it.
Hard to follow with the dialect & allegories. It is an instant history lesson, warranting further research. The characters were clearly defined, with flowing dialogue.
Excellent early Patricia Finney, where many Lord Robert Carey characters make a first appearance.
I always enjoy the detail, language, and characters. Finney is a master at using history woven into her story. Not a big drawback but auto-correct may interfere with the flow of the wording from time to.time. Looking forward to her next book.
Having read most or all of this author's elizabethan-setting books, i only wish there were more. She writes as well as Denise Mina, with similar intelligence and attention to detail. I hope she's not done.
This is the first book in the David Becket and Simon Ames series. It is set in the Elizabethan era and focuses on a plot against the Queen. The narrator is a schizophrenic, and is at times difficult to follow, but is provided information by “angels” that give him insight into scenes where he is not physically present. Becket and Ames stumble into the plot and begin to work together to stop the assassination attempt. Becket, a swordsman, and Ames, a Jewish clerk for Walsingham are uniquely placed to sort out what is going on. While at times confusing in perspective, particularly due to the narrator’s different voices, the author adds rich detail of the period and provides a unique perspective on one of the many plots against Queen Elizabeth during her reign.
Finney is one of the premier historical novelists of our time, comparable to Sutcliffe in an earlier generation. The people are both appealing and deeply grounded in their time, a difficult feat, and the alienness of Tudor England comes across vividly. The characterization is excellent and the action sequences deeply gripping. You come away from reading "Firedrake's Eye" knowing more about Elizabethan London... and more about human beings. Heartily recommended!
