Title: Not really a historical mystery
Review: Set in 336 BC Greece, the author attempts to solve the mystery of who was behind the assasination of Philip of Macedon. There are many suspects, including his son, Alexander, all with viable motives.While the author has chosen an era that has yet to be explored by mystery writers, she allowed the results of her research to bog down the story. The mystery and characters became secondary to her history lesson.This is the first of a proposed series by Apostolou (pseudonym for P.C. Doherty) and let us hope that the author has gotten the desire to write historical fiction over with and the next in the series will be an addition to the mystery genre.
