Customer Reviews

Montmorency & the Assassins

An excellent series. The historical info is fascinating, not a whole lot written about during the Victorian times when a lot was changing. I recommend the whole series. My son and daughter both loved these books and came away with a fresh look on history lessons! Eleanor Updale is impressive. The story grips you early and doesn't let up past the end. I recommend for kids 10yrs and up.... and adults

Brilliant - again!

Having read the first two books in this series, I was hungry for more - and Assassins really delivered. When I first picked it up I thought it would be a lot longer than the previous two, but it roars along, with bodies falling, windows smashing and all sorts of other thrilling, funny and sometimes saddening twists (watch out for the ending if you're a crier like me!) Enough out of me - just read it! I'm waiting for the fourth one...
