The Falconer's Knot - Mary Hoffman

[BookStop]

My 13 yr old just finished The Falconer's Knot. She read it in about 2 days, really hardly put it down at all while we were home. She is insisting that I will like it, and I am putting it next on my list to read.

I have noticed the reviews for your books are all wonderful and quite often read by adults as well as the younger crowd. While I haven't read them yet, I still find it simply fantastic when books appeal to all ages. It is so refreshing having books to discuss with younger people, and seeing that thier ideas, opinions, and conclusions are not so different than mine.

Thank you Book Stop, and your daughter! I'm so glad she enjoyed it.

My agent thinks my latest historical novel is not a book for teenagers at all - "just a novel" as she put it. I would love Bloomsbury to market them as adult novels too but so far no luck.

Read it in 2 days myself, and that's saying something as we've been really busy around here and I had to stay up really late last night to finish it. I just didn't want to put it down. I can't believe my daughter guessed who the friary murderer was. She's good; I was stumped until the very end.

Congratulations to your daughter, Bookstop - she's the first person I have heard of to guess the murderer! Even though I thought I'd made it reasonably obvious and had "played fair" with the clues.

So glad you liked it too.
