Anything that even hints at "chic-lit," romance novels, or time-travelers sets off my book-avoidance instincts. But Willig's novels can amuse and entertain the most die-hard die-hard types. Combine some scholarly detective work by an amusingly human female Harvard historian, some 18th Century Scarlet Pimpernel fashion royal British versus revolutionary French duels of espionage - counter-espionage, and a deft writer's talent for dialogue, setting, and drama. Willig's series provide a splendid read for guys and gals alike. Poke the fire and pass the port. Just wish more were available on PaperBackSwap!
