Not my usual genre--a black humour novel about a young female serial killer--but I spent evening laughing out loud as I read it, and quickly devoured the whole series. It does have some gory bits, but they humour is great, especially the MC's daily lists of those she wishes she could kill, which included vapid celebrities, conspiracy nuts, and antivaxxers!

Didn't wake up at all. And for once, no bad dream either. This morning I feel balanced. Almost sane, for once.'

At first I thought this book might be too heavy on the 'romance' but I am so glad I decided to read it anyway, as it wasn't a romance as I had been led to believe. The author knows the Wars of the Roses period very well and brought her lead character to life. Parts are gritty, but realistic for the era. I particularly enjoyed the household dynamics.

What is this book about?

Wheel of Fortune is the gripping first book in C.F. Dunn's major new Wars of the Roses series, The Tarnished Crown.

‘The best Wars of the Roses novel I have ever read. A magnificent book I didn't want to end. All the characters were so well drawn that they performed the alchemy of stepping out of the book and into the room.' - Elizabeth Chadwick

‘Dunn's world is utterly believable, the research meticulous, the characters deep and rich, and the sights and smells disguise the devastation that lurks at every turn.' - Matthew Lewis


1469. England is in turmoil. For…
