I thoroughly enjoyed this trip through history. From King Tut to Princess Di Haugen looked to shine light on royal mysteries. Not all of them were about murders either. Haugen wrote about what may have made George III insane and did Empress Catherine do that?! She didn't.

Haugen managed to give detailed information while keeping each episode fairly short with some very amusing comments on how we as a society look at history today.

This book is a great idea for anyone who likes to learn about historical mysteries but don't know where to start. At the end of each chapter Haugen supplies the reader with a list of books that will allow anyone to do some further reading on the subject. Be warned though the list will make your own list of books to read grow.
