If you haven't already read it Margaret I can recommend " An Instance of the Fingerpost" by Iain Pears -brilliant historical/murder mystery.

Also Holy Fools by Joanne Harris is really good -set in France early 1600's about a troupe of vagabond players also murder mystery/thriller.

Am about to start a book which a friend gave me as a gift while over in the UK: The World of Downton Abbey -the secrets and history unlocked!
Lovely photos and detail of who the characters were based on and other behind the scenes stuff and historical detail - hope it's as good as the 1st series.
