Kill the King! and Other Conspiracies by D. Lawrence-Young

 Chock-full of history, names and details - some that are familiar and some that you probably haven't heard of before. 

I really liked how each story and chapter was set up. The feeling of listening in as a grandfather tells his granddaughter and anyone else around about his passion for history is something that transports the reader right alongside the granddaughter. The reader can feel the passion that the grandfather has for this topic and the acceptance and even fun that the granddaughter has spending time with him. 

There is a lot of details; names, dates and locations that can make this book a bit hard to read at times if you are not used to it. But the setup of the book works to alleviate that with its clear separation of each story and each assassination attempts. 

Forgotten history, unique history and sometimes funny history - full of backstabbing's and plots. A wonderful approach to history and learning. 

I received this book free from NetGalley and Cranthorpe Millner Publishers to review and this is my honest review

5 out of 5 stars
