Fairly interesting. The author's attempt at writing in the language of Newton's period was clumsy. And there were a couple of odd plot elements left hanging that could have been tied in to make a much more satisfying story.

Excellent historical mystery featuring Sir Issac Newton and his (fictional, I think) assisstant Christopher Ellis, taking place when Newton was Warden of the Royal Mint (as he was in real life) at the Tower of London in 1696. Well-written and richly woven with details of the period, the mystery itself is even an interesting one!
