Jane Seymour, The Haunted Queen

I recently finished my NetGalley copy of Alison Weir's fabulous new novel JANE SEYMOUR: THE HAUNTED QUEEN.  Wow, what a fantastic story.  I've always thought of Jane Seymour as a mousy, quiet woman.  A woman who was the antithesis of Anne Boleyn.  The calm after the storm.  Well, this book throws all my preconceived ideas out the window.  I have no doubt she was the calm after the storm that was Anne Boleyn, but she was no shrinking violet, either.  The Jane Seymour portrayed by Alison Weir (one of THE BEST historical novelist I've ever read), is a calm, but highly intelligent young woman.  One who happened to catch the eye of Henry.  The only woman who was able to give him the son and heir he required and craved.  She was full of life and joy, but the title tells it all.  She was haunted.  There is an element of the supernatural in this book.  She is haunted by a dark figure; she feels partly responsible for the death of ...

The Penny Thief

... and if someone was robbing a bank cent by cent without anyone realizing it ... PARIS, Montmartre and La Défense, the ultra-modern business district with their office skyscrapers. Henri Pichon is a quietly sharp programmer whose daily routine is altered by a fortuitous accident from which will change the fate of everyone around him. A different crime/detective novel: a story of love, hate, greed, murder ... and a refreshing touch of black humor. How far are you willing to go for the money? ... my thoughts What a fantastic book! I couldn't put it down. Starts with a bang and the action doesn't stop.  The writing is spectacular, the story just flows. The characters are full and entertaining. You will either love or hate them, my favorite...Henri and Tash.  It has been many years since I visited Paris, however, the descriptions were so well done that I could actually 'see' the places being described.  I loved this book. It has everything a reader could want. Adventure, ...
