This was a good book about two of the most prominent of Edward VII's mistresses. The book is basically 90% Alice and 10% Agnes, due, in part, to the fact that very little is known about Agnes Keyser. Part of the book talks about Alice Keppel's two daughters, Violet and Sonia, and I felt that the inclusion of these two ladies didn't need to be part of the story. There were also a few factual errors, for instance: stating that Prince Felix Yusupov, killer of Rasputin, was the brother-in-law of Grand Duke Dimitri Pavlovich. In fact, he was his cousin-in-law.

All in all this was an interesting book and a must read for any interested in Edward VII's extra-curricular activities. ( )

Very poorly written -- the author seemed more fascinated where obscure people lived then giving us any insight or even any real fun stories. Tried way too hard to make Agnes Keyser an interesting person--she must have been a book. And Keppel must have been more interesting than presented. ( )
