Items related to A Masterpiece of Corruption (John Grey, 2)
Len Tyler has been shortlisted for two Edgar awards, won two of England's “Last Laugh” awards, and racked up more great reviews than he's had hot dinners: Why would he turn away from the stunningly funny “Elsie and Ethelred” series?
Because the intrigues of Cromwell's England were too juicy to pass up. Tangled in too many of them is John Grey, a newly minted lawyer and would-be ladies' man with a bad habit of poking his nose into other people's business. That's unfortunate, because a mis-delivered letter has left Grey with more information about a murderous plot than it's entirely safe to know. Can Grey prevent the murder? And of infinitely more importance, can he keep his mouth shut long enough to save his own skin?

About the Author:
LC (Len) Tyler is a British writer best known for the "Ethelred & Elsie" series, for which he has received two Edgar nominations and the UK's Last Laugh award for best humorous mystery of the year. He lives in London.
Review:
The year is 1657, and a case of mistaken identity results in Grey, who has republican sympathies, finding himself in the middle of a plot by the Sealed Knot, a secret royalist association, to assassinate Oliver Cromwell in order that Charles Stuart may return from exile to take his place on the throne. Forced into the role of double agent, caught up in a dizzying whirl of plot and counterplot and anxious to save his own skin, Grey, the son of a royalist, begins to question exactly where his own loyalties lie. Grey is a likable, dryly humorous protagonist, and Tyler, who uses a mixture of real and invented characters, has created a credible, and credibly bamboozling, atmosphere of paranoia as the two factions are increasingly riven by internal strife, with lofty ideals giving way to expediency. (Laura Wilson The Guardian, February 2016)
