The Brotherhood of Five

This is a good story of assassination and murderous revenge gone awry.  Set on a small island in England, the background of the story spans Europe during the time of Napoleon Bonaparte.  The only drawback to the novel is the Victorian length sentences that the author uses.  I did a word count on one sentence and it ran to 165 words!  I found this to be distracting.  However, I do recommend the book as a read if you enjoy historical murder mysteries.
