Rendition In Favor Of Books The Assassin's Curse (The Blackthorn Key #3)

Christopher Rowe is back and there are more puzzles, riddles, and secrets to uncover in this third novel of the award-winning Blackthorn Key series.

Wherever Christopher Rowe goes, adventure—and murder—follows. Even a chance to meet King Charles ends in a brush with an assassin.

All that’s recovered from the killer is a coded message with an ominous sign-off: more attempts are coming. So when Christopher’s code-breaking discovers the attack’s true target, he and his friends are ordered to Paris to investigate a centuries-old curse on the French throne. And when they learn an ancient treasure is promised to any assassin who succeeds, they realize the entire royal family is at stake—as well as their own lives.

In the third heart-pounding installment of the award-winning Blackthorn Key series, Christopher, Tom, and Sally face new codes, puzzles, and traps as they race to find the hidden treasure before someone else is murdered.

Assess Of Books The Assassin's Curse (The Blackthorn Key #3)

Reader thoughts: I liked this book. Another good Blackthorn mystery!I'm getting a much better sense of who the characters are. Thomas is bigger than I kept imagining. He's big enough to act as a guard or to swordfight or to pick Christopher up from a fall out a window (um, hypothetically). Christopher is the devious thinker who really gets into more trouble than anyone should.In this book, the two friends (plus Sally!) save the king and cause havoc in Paris (including stealing a painting from

This was another good read in the series. Normally I don't like historical fiction books but I've been enjoying this series. I love the puzzle solving aspects of the series. It just makes them so much more interesting.

I hate this book because of two huge reasons. The first reason is that there are too many things in this book. Like I don't even know who is Poussim or Poussin and what he did. The main villain who got arrested in this book felt like someone we already we should've known who she was but it felt like someone we just got introduced into him due to this books number of events and names. If the villain was someone we just have been introduced to than the case for this book will be worse than I



In between reading the books of this series, I forget how much I like it. Then Ill pick up the next one and get immersed in seconds and I think-oh, yeah-I remember now-I love these books. Although I have to admit there was a twist at the end of this one that I really could have done without. I understand why it was put in-a bit of foreshadowing future adventures but it just stresses me out. I like these characters and I dont want anything to happen to them so stop trying to kill them off!!

Enjoyed the plot of finding out who might want to assassinate the royal family. It morphed into a treasure hunt. Though their became to open at times about who they were which threatened their very identitites and life. It did set up an overarching villain whom seems to be very cruel and calculating. I tend to think he might be the apprentice Blackthorn never mentions.

3.5 stars rounded down.My least favourite in the series so far. I believe that was largely due to the subject matter/plot - it simply failed to draw me in as much as the previous two instalments did. It was still a good read though and although I'd say this instalment had slightly less humorous dialogue between Tom & Christopher, I'm pleased to see the series stays consistent in its strengths.
