Richard Wolfdon, is one of the wealthiest men in England, and occasional adviser to King Henry VIII, yet he finds there is no challenge in his everyday life. He is utterly bored.
Jemima’s father died at sea, now she must give up her home and money to her vile cousin. But the discovery of three mummified bodies in the attic brings Richard Wolfdon into her life. He intends to delve deeper, and discover the identity of the victims, and more especially of the murderer.
But on becoming better acquainted, Richard promptly falls in love. And soon realises that life is not tedious at all, and with murder and love both filling his mind with questions and delight, life soon proves absolutely glorious.
Nothing however, is ever quite that simple. With a treasure hunt into the south of England, attacks from bandits and pirates, kidnapping and invasions, there is far more to face and one adventure chases another. Who is dead and who alive? Who is hero and who villain? And with the squabbles of one man’s six voluptuous mistresses to manage – or ignore – Richard wonders if tedium was the easiest option after all.
This book brings Henry VIII and his second unfortunate wife Anne Boleyn into the plot, and with historical accuracy, defines the events that marked the end of Anne’s life. Surrounding these traumas is the fictional story of Richard Wolfdonn, Jemima Thripp and the convoluted adventure which brings them together with many twists and turns within the vivid excesses of Tudor England.
The Deception of Consequences Reviews

Interesting perspective
There are many versions of Ann Boleyn's short life and eventual execution as the queen consort of Henry VIII. This plot is a rather new take on the history if her life as queen and unfortunate wife of this king. I have to admit it is very likely scenario of what transpired. The surrounding plot is pretty good. I enjoyed reading the book as author Denvil makes it adventure-filled and interesting using a fast-paced story. I wasn't bored with a lot of overwritten history here. Of course, the nature of the historical events surrounding the first ever queen of England's execution is astounding no matter what your perspective might be.
I would recommend to readers of historical romance novels as uniquely different. -
This story is set in Tudor, England. It starts with three dead bodies in an attic. It adds in the Anne Boleyn's situation, a lawyer, a cheating cousin, a pirate's daughter and a man tired of court and prefers to look into mysteries. Love and intrigue are in the air and Jemina is caught in the middle. Some parts of this story are hard to read through, but in the end the mysteries of the three bodies in the attic will be revealed. The dead bodies are not what is important in this story, but the characters who have lived in this house. It's been awhile, since I've read such intrigue while everyone is trying to keep themselves alive either from thieves or the king's hangman noose.

Interesting Tale of Murder and Love
If all books were written with such an interesting in historical fiction I think the reading numbers would be phenomenal. Murder and treachery by the royalty to the commoner in medieval England makes for a fascinating tale. -
Good story
Good story, but as with one of the others, needs a proof reader as there are typos, spelling errors and typesetting issues.
