| Final Rating: 4.8/5 |
The Nightingale Cipher is a brilliant historical thriller that revolves around London at the end of a turmoil filled year of 1752. With classic action, authentic dialogue, character dramatization and a truly fascinating plot; The Nightingale Cipher may have been missed by quite a few readers. Expect the unexpected with this novel, as we follow Miss Alice Taylor from Exeter Court to Queen's Square (and everywhere between) as she hears the bells of the surrounding churches sound the countdown to the answers of the nightingale cipher and the identity of the anonymous being only known as "Jupiter". Political intrigue and classic mystery captures the attention of the reader as Mr. Clear weaves a sinister tale that leaves the reader gasping for air on the final page.
In the end, I was seriously surprised how well this novel ended. It captured my attention from the first sentence to the final. The action filled scenes never stopped but had this perfect flow that didn't impede on a fascinating story line. The author has a talent with description that leaves a vivid mind racing with the characters as the twists and turns of this novel gallop onward. The only negative that I can report, is the somewhat over exaggeration on a few scenes and slight believability, but those can be forgiven with such wonderful unforeseen dark twists that will catch even the most seasoned reader off guard.
