Although I am a fan of Sharon Kay Penman's other historical fiction, the book suffers from an overwhelming number of characters and locations. Although she provides a rather scanty diagram of the English/Normandy royal line, it doesn't include half of the major characters. This becomes even more of a problem when half of the characters are named Maude, William, Randolph, Henry, etc. Take that also with the fact that half of them have nicknames and you find yourself spending 700 pages double-checking who she is talking about. And while it is historical fiction, the plot becomes so detailed in the 10 years of the wars between Stephen and Maude that it begins to feel like a nonfiction account. Other writers use historical events to serve as a backdrop for their characters' actions and developments, but in Penman's case the historical events become the driving plot points. Her research into English medieval history is admirable but such an exhausting chronicle of endless battles and strategems begins to wear on the reader's nerves after page 400. The books picks up somewhat in the second half with Penman's focus on Henry and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Her skipping about between plots decreases somewhat and as the majority of the characters begin to die off (the book does cover almost 70 years of history), the cast list becomes much simpler and major characters begin to emerge. Overall, the book could have used a much better sense of organization. Although it was an interesting technique to switch narratives between the two opposing camps of a war (Stephen and Maude), Penman also gave the readers multiple perspectives from multiple different characters on both sides. This left the reader with no firm grasp on who anyone was. If she had kept the perspectives to two major characters (i.e. Stephen and Maude) the overwhelming list of characters might not have proved so daunting.

The Godfather of Kathmandu continues Burdett’s Sonchai Jitpleecheep series showcasing a distinct oriental feel continuing to distance itself from a genre flooded with pop culture Americanised police procedurals. Not as good as its predecessors (notably Bangkok 8 and Bangkok Tattoo), Burdett’s latest effort isn’t without shock and awe moments as Sonchai investigates the macabre murder of a Hollywood film director in one of the more seedier haunts of Bankok in which the killer takes not overtly subtle liberties from the Hannibal Lector school of death. However, the case plays second fiddle to Sonchai’s latest position as Mafioso Consigliere in which he is responsible for broking a deal between drug barons from the army and police force – highlighting the more unconventional approach Burdett takes to his telling of crime fiction. On one hand, Burdett creates a spiritual and talented half farang cop, the other, a criminal whose appetite for wealth and finer things draws him to underworld antics. At times these worlds overlap with the results a joy to read - you could feel the inner turmoil as Sonchai’s conscious tries to justify or condemn his every decision. What stands in the way of making this outing especially memorable is Burdett’s tendency to push his personal beliefs on the reader which proved distracting at times. As usual, the characters are top notch, Mad Moi is exceptional – even the two female drug mules, while bit players, left a distinct impression. The Godfather of Kathmandu further enhances the reader’s perception of good/corrupt cop Sonchai and his quest for enlightenment while building on a beautifully atmospheric and unique Thailand. An enjoyable read not without its flaws but still a lot of fun with a fair degree of tongue in cheek humour – 3 stars.
