One for the Money?,
By John Webb (Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Alchemist: Death of a Borgia (Paperback)
"One for the money, and for John, Carol, Ellen & Robert" is how Caroline Stevermer introduces this book. It is an entertaining but standard story about one Nicholas Coffin, Alchemist, who is apparently attempting to manufacture gold, but seems far more interested in anatomy. He gives in to temptation and dissects the corpse of Ercole Borgia after his murder. Cesare Borgia, to avert any suspicion that he killed his brother, must find the real murderer, or a suitable substitute. Having carved Ercole up, Coffin is the obvious scapegoat, and is stuck with finding who really did the deed.A few anachronisms mar the story, but I can recommend it as light entertainment. |
