Not the sort of book that's usually my kind of thing but it was a thoughtful Christmas present so I read and it and enjoyed it quite a bit. Couple of men involved in the execution of Charles I on the run basically, loosely based on real people and events. The post civil war setting is interesting and immersive and the plot rattles along pretty nicely for the most part. Does start meandering in the last quarter of the novel, and then the ending felt rushed and unsatisfying, but yeah not bad.
