"I have just finished reading Ruth Sutton's novel The Good Liar, which was published last spring. It is the first book in a planned trilogy. The story is set in Cumbria in the Lake District of England. It's not somewhere I know, but after reading this novel, I want to wander through those villages. There is a diverse array of characters, and one wonders who will appear in the other two books. I also am a fan of the Tudor historical fiction by Philippa Gregory. I finished The Red Queen over the Christmas holidays and am now halfway through The White Queen. I know she takes some licence with historical facts, but I find her enjoyable reading."
