Title: Spare us!
Review: This is a what if scenario based on the idea that America never got out from under the thumb of the British and the British Empire still exists. It's set in America and the authors would have us believe everyone is still bowing and scraping before the British King-Emporer (!) Charles III. It's every character's dream to put Sir in front of his name, including the main man and his sidekick. We have people like this in Britain. We despise them. The underlying story is of a murder but this gets lost in the depiction of a seriously unpleasant society where no one questions the authority of a political system based on class and privilege, or the right of an unelected monarch to political power. On top of that, it's overlong, badly written and boring.
