About this listen
Six of One is the ultimate "girls' night in" - with the six wives of Henry VIII. It's the most fun you can have with your nightdress on!
Join Dolly, the Tudor-obsessed heroine of Six of One, on a Yellow Brick Road journey to the alternate reality of an all-girl Tudor court.
It all begins when Dolly loses consciousness on the eve of her marriage to the six-times-divorced Harry. She awakens in the company of the Tudor women she's studied all of her life. Team Tudor has a mission to accomplish, and Dolly may be just the girl who can help them do it.
Dolly warms up for her interview with the six shades of Henry in practice rounds with lots of the other famous ladies of Tudor times. In-laws, outlaws, matriarchs, frenemies, and household help are all on hand to help out and add to the factoids and fun.
Of course the heart of the story is in Dolly's interview with the six wives of Henry VIII. It turns out there's something to each of the wives' stories that's been held back all this time.
You won't believe what really happened...or will you?
Six of One offers no tragedy, no excuses, and no apologies. It does have lots of broad humor, not to mention tons of puns. And - for a change - a happy ending.

Max Tudor has adapted well to his post as vicar of St. Edwold's in the idyllic village of Nether Monkslip. The quiet village seems the perfect home for Max, who has fled a harrowing past as an MI5 agent. But this new-found serenity is quickly shattered when the highly vocal and unpopular president of the Women's Institute turns up dead at the Harvest Fayre. The death looks like an accident, but Max's training as a former agent kicks in, and before long he suspects foul play.

Ten of the Bible's best-known femmes fatales parade across the pages of Bad Girls of the Bible with situations that sound oh-so-familiar. Eve had food issues. Potiphar’s wife and Delilah had man trouble. Lot’s wife and Michal couldn’t let go of the past, Sapphira couldn’t let go of money, and Jezebel couldn’t let go of anything. Yet the woman at the well had her thirst quenched at last, while Rahab and the sinful woman left their sordid histories behind.

Entertainingly Bad
For anyone who loves history...or well written stories, this book is really awful. But I really couldn’t help but want to know how the story was going to end! It’s very cheesy, pretty badly written, and horribly inaccurate from a historical standpoint. BUT, it might make you laugh if you know the real history and back story.
