And despite it being a well-known fact among my readers and friends that I loathe Duke William of Normandy (I refuse to give him his other well-known title) and have reservations about reading novels about him The Harrowing was an engrossing read.

I wouldn't advise reading this one if you are planning to attend any social dinner parties - and you'll be taking extra care with what you eat and drink (especially mushrooms!) after reading this novel, for it is about a professional poisoner. It is one of those novels where you know you should utterly despise the lead character - but you find yourself rooting for her, even applauding her (deadly) skill! The novel is about ghastly methods of murder - but it is delicious fun!
