A very in depth account of the people and events surrounding the death of Anne Boleyn.I was actually very surprised by the sheer amount of details this did contain.It seemed well thought out and researched and I loved the final thought in the book.At times though I felt my eyes glaze over a bit due to what I felt was just repeated information already out there.Nevertheless,I would recommend for someone just interested in Anne's tragic ending.

A very close up look at the end of Anne Boleyn's life and (high praise to Caroline Angus for calling it what it was) murder.

Angus carefully combs through all available evidence about the last few months of Anne Boleyn's life - while also pointing out the parts missing from the record due to deliberate destruction - and makes it clear that this was ALL Henry's idea - he wanted her gone, so Cromwell got her gone. Cromwell may have done all the grunt work, but it was very much at henry's bidding. Also, Anne was 100% innocent, and at the time everyone, even her enemies, said so.

Angus's engaging writing and thorough investigation make this a fascinating read for anyone interested in the darker corners of history and the dramatic power struggles of the era.

This was really informative! I don’t think it provides any additional or previously undiscovered information but it’s a good length and an interesting enough read.

Planning the Murder of Anne Boleyn by Caroline Angus

For most of us who like the history about the Tudor era , and thought they knew about Anne Boleyn 's downfall , think again and read this book.
A brilliant , and thoroughly researched book on the final months of her life and those that brought her demise .
I was lost within the book at occasions due to the vast volume of people within and their connections be it by name or close connections , but thanks to the author , many unanswered questions have answered thanks to the authors vast knowledge on the subject.
