A historical fiction novel with a little bit of extra 'oomph' is basically The Coronation Year! While I did expect most of this book to be based on the actual Coronation, I shouldn't have as it followed a similar pattern to The Gown, also by Jennifer Robson. Ultimately, it was more enjoyable as the story it was, rather than fully surrounding the coronation of the Queen. 

The first half of this book reads very slow and very descriptive, both of London, the characters and their stories. I did struggle a bit through it, finding it hard to focus and get fully involved, but the second half really takes off and captures the reader through the unfolding mystery and character developments. While it won't be my favourite of Robson's books, it's definitely a great historical fiction read!
