Thanks for the great review. Haven't read much about the Templars and this would give me some idea of who they were. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

"The Royal Secret", the official review really makes me to think this book is worth reading especially for a suspense thriller fan.

This book The Royal Secret dates all the way back to Christ. It is a mystery the way Mrs. G's husband the bioscienist died. He was very rich and she had to warn her step-grandchildren of tbe information to help them understand the severity of the situation. There also is a parallel in the universe. It is not easy to read but a good book to read.

I must first admit that the topic of the book caught my eyes. Upon reading the official review I saw that the storyline was really about a royal family and that is a good start!

I would have preferred thr name of the wife to represent more substance. For example, "Elizabeth" would be more fitting.

Latest Review: "Escape" by Belle Ami

Post by Texas_Jazz2016 »

Thanks for a thorough review. I have always enjoyed historical fiction and have been fascinated by stories of the Knights Templar. This appears to be a book that will take some delving into, to really be able to understand the story, but would be interested in reading this book.
