With the TV series being scrapped after three excellent seasons I needed to know more. Dunant's book provides a cracking good tale with clearly more accuracy than the Jeremy Iron's extravaganza.
The slow slipping of Lucrezia from a romantic and talented girl into a cold hearted killer, is hinted at in what is I hope the first of a series. Cesare emerges larger than life, lustful and extremely dangerous. A renaissance man indeed, red in sword, insatiable in bed and lethal in intent. Rome is evoked with all its smells and intrigues.
Highly recommended.
