From the start, given the novel's length, it is apparent that a copious amount of research has been done. The question is, then, for the first-time historical novelist, has it been done smoothly? What Smith accomplishes with elan is a very credible biographical novel about a woman whose true identity has never been known. Smith creates Kate Haute as the mother of the illegitimate children of the infamous King Richard III, who is reputed to have had his nephew, the boy-king Edward V, and the king's little brother murdered when Richard usurped the throne. Fans of historical fiction will little note nor at all care that this is the author's first novel. Smith's involved plot correlates well with the convoluted politics of the time."
