I have been hooked on historicals for a very long time so I have seen the changes in the genre that you describe so well. THE BASTARD sounds very much like the early books of Jane Feather and even Gaelan Foley which I enjoyed at the time they were written, but that now seem dated in comparison to current trends.

I too like her well crafted suspenses, it is a more "mature" style of book.
