Total honesty here. I watched The Virgin Queen last year and found it to be "different" for lack of a better word. How could she not know her lover was married? I also have to say that I'm with you, I think she was very strange if what is being portrayed as fact is really the way it all went down in history. And how about that French putz? There are absolutely no words to describe what a sick little twit of a defunct derelict that guy was. A regular prissy panted perv. He totally made my skin crawl.

ryc: the FIRST one I picked out of the box is Nero Wolfe, of course!!!! It's called four to go, and is more like novellas or something. Some Agatha Christies, John Le Carre, etc.
