Summary

The Catherine Howard Conspiracy is the first audiobook in the Marquess House trilogy, a gripping dual time line conspiracy thriller with an ingenious twist on Tudor history. Perfect for fans of Dan Brown, Philippa Gregory and Kate Mosse. 

When Catherine Howard arrives at the court of King Henry VIII to be a maid of honour of the new queen, Anne of Cleves, she has no idea of the fate that awaits her. Catching the king’s fancy, she finds herself caught up in her uncle’s ambition to get a Howard heir to the throne. 

Meanwhile, in 2018, Dr Perdita Rivers receives news of the death of her estranged grandmother, renowned Tudor historian Mary Fitzroy. Journeying to her grandmother’s vast estate in Pembrokeshire, Perdita is drawn into the mystery of an ancient document in the archives of Marquess House, a collection of letters that claim the records of Catherine Howard’s execution were falsified....

What truths are hiding in Marquess House? And how was Perdita’s grandmother connected to it all?

Couldn’t put it down! Listened to it over 3 days at every opportunity.
Plausible characters especially in the Tudor period, a little less so in our timeline. But joining it together worked.
I’d love to believe this was how life ended up for Cathrine Howard! But can also believe the Henry VIII in this story could be quite true to real life, let’s face it the man was a psychopath, and we don’t need this books version of him to know that!
Can’t wait to listen to the next instalment.
Absolutely wonderful narration! Bought all the characters to life, and accents and pronunciations were excellent. What’s not to like!!
Thank you are hours of absorption!

Excellent!

Thoroughly enjoyed the story and found both the periods inventive and entertaining. It did take a little while to get into the book, but I’m glad I stayed with it.

What a fabulous listen

Great way of learning some real history entwined with a sup conspiracy theory that is actually very believable-going to look for next in series straight away

History made interesting
