Kerr writes in an efficient but elegant style that grows on you as you work your way deeper into the novel. This is a thriller that is literary enough to satisfy those readers who prefer that sort of thing and is also surprisingly sordid at points. Ultimately though, this book is about a thriller and the plot and Kerr keeps things quite intricate, complex and convincing, as befits a protagonist like Sir Isaac Newton.

Unfortunately, things bog down toward the end, and things take a spin toward Da Vinci Code silliness.

London at the turn of the century, 17th, that is, is a place of intrigue and mystery. Will the recoinage fail and cause England to be destroyed by France and the Catholics? The mystery is deepened with each new murder, but, is Issas Newton, and his faithful sidekick, up to solving the case? Read on, and learn. This book was a little tedious, but it had its moments.
