I started the Patricia Cornwell but got bored. I think she's hit a bit of a trough, the last few books haven't been much good.

wasit Stephen knight who got us all interested in Gull?Masons, etc...

folksinger/author Barrie roberts has a theory about the Ripper - very complicated!

The thing about the royal family, i get the feeling that the secrets are probably a bit murkier than even we suspect.
