#BookReview Click To Tweet This is definitely a must-read for fans of Christian historical romance, or those historical fiction fans who enjoy a good story based around real-life events. The Prince of Spies by Elizabeth Camden by is a must-read for fans of Christian historical romance, or those historical fiction fans who enjoy a good story based around real-life events. however, it’s definitely a cast of characters I’d like to read more about, for the historical context, for the brilliant writing, and for the characters themselves. I suspect it’s the final one, as the Delacroix siblings are now all married. The Prince of Spies is the third novel in Elizabeth Camden’s Hope and Glory series. This doesn’t detract from the plot – if anything, it strengthens it as I wonder how the author is going to achieve the impossible. As the story goes on, it becomes apparent that she’ll have to choose between her family and Luke (although historical record, as well as the fact this is a romance novel, makes her choice obvious). Anyway, back to the story … Marianne is attracted to Luke, enough to go behind her father’s back when he forbids her to see Luke again.īut she’s fiercely loyal to her father and the Magruder family, despite Luke’s accusations.
That’s the kind of historical factoid which fascinates me and is the element that raises Elizabeth Camden’s novels into the must-read category for me. It is thanks to Dr Wiley and his Poison Squad that we now understand what preservatives are safe for use in food, and in what quantities. The men become known as the Poison Squad, which is based on real-life research conducted by Dr Wiley, the man responsible for the establishment of the US Food & Drug Administration in 1906. Luke volunteers for medical trials intended to determine if the food additives Magruder and others use are safe. (In this case, “public good” means not producing food that kills people.) She’s the adopted daughter of Congressman Clyde Magruder, who Luke wants removed from office because of his history of favouring his own business interests over the public good. Unfortunately, she is Marianne Magruder, from the Magruder family who have been Delacroix enemies for decades. When Luke Delacroix helps a lady save a dog, he is immediately intrigued and wants to get to know her better. The Prince of Spies is a twist on the Romeo and Juliet story, complete with feuding families and threats of poison.
