Witty Little Knitter

I tried...I really tried but this book gives the impression of something that is written for people who already know about the cases anyway. I got completely lost because Dumas mentioned so many people and I simply couldn't remember them all and so it all ended up being incredibly confusing, even the part on the Borgias (now I know the TV-series isn't the most historical accurate portrayal but having watched it meant that I knew at least some of the names of people involved but I still didn't know what was going on most of the time).
