Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. Its context is post-Reformation England and directly addresses the conflicts between the Crown and Catholic recusants. A suspected plot against Elizabeth on the part of Catholics, which turns out to be non-existent, preoccupies those close to the queen. The protagonist, Tyburn the player, is assisted by a young William Shakespeare in the pursuit of the leader of the ersatz plot, a Jesuit priest operating sub rosa throughout parts of England.

The author creates a vibrant Tyburn whose talents exceed those of both soldier and player. Young Will's circumstances, home, and personality are believable. Many historical figures are woven into the plot line and the reader gains an understanding of the lives of the people during the period. Politics, stratification, economics, religion, and other dimensions of the time are important pieces in the novel's puzzle. The Jesuit Letter is a historical adventure with a little something to captivate every reader. Through the protagonist, Christopher Tyburn, we are welcomed into the world of travelling players, though it is slowly revealed that there is much more to this mysterious, scarred man.

Where else could an Elizabethan troupe perform than Stratford-upon-Avon, where we get to meet a young Will Shakespeare?

The mystery and action that begin right in the prologue never lets up in this quick-paced story. Our unfortunately named Tyburn first appears to be little more than the stereotypical player, drinking or gambling away his wages, but the deeper truths about him are not completely revealed until much later.

He finds himself wrapped up in a plot that is rooted in the religious battles of the 16th century. Tyburn, comfortable not choosing sides in the Protestant versus Catholic debate, finds that he must decide where he stands if lives are to be saved. I enjoyed the fact that this story revealed much of the lifestyles of the times without focusing on Queen Elizabeth herself. The author demonstrates thorough knowledge of his chosen setting with historical tidbits and slang sprinkled throughout the novel. I may be one of the few readers who would have appreciated fewer footnotes, but I loved the authenticity.

Those who know my reading habits will not be surprised that the romance portion of this novel was not my favorite element, but I did enjoy how it was used to develop Tyburn's character.
