Book Review of The Malice of Fortune

The Malice of Fortune
reviewed on + 6 more book reviews


An unsolved murder set in Renaissance Italy. An unlikely coalition of Machiavelli, Da Vinci, and a cultured courtesan set out to solve it, each with their own motives and means. Characters include a corrupt pope, the Borgias, scheming warlords, witches, and the stew that was Renaissance Italy. An unconventional but enjoyable thriller.
