JIm FUlner reviewed The Serpent's Tale by Ariana Franklin
Review on LibraryThing
2 stars
This audiobook was not good. Even worse than the first one, and that one wasn't good either. There is hardly a story here at all, at least half of the book is just feminist propaganda.
The little plot that exists is, someone wants it to look like the queen is trying to kill people. Our protagonist, an 11th century single mother who is also a doctor and a forensic scientist, goes on the case to find out. Her baby daddy, who is a Catholic Bishop, shows up and then she thinks he dies. In the end every member of the clergy is fornicating, and all the nuns are lesbians. and something about happily ever after?
