The Elizabethan Noir Trilogy Boxed Set, by Patricia Finney (Firedrake's Eye, Unicorn's Blood and Gloriana's Torch). A historical crime trilogy with some distinctly fantastic elements (but not thankfully urban fantasy) set in Elizabethan London. Strange, and a bit heavy going. Reminiscent of C J Stevermer's Serpent's Egg in the imagery and the fantastic elements (although the latter was true fantasy).

I would say the motivations and language were very true to period (Finney has been active in the re-enactment community). However, so are the attitudes to sex, violence, the status of women, ethnic minorities, and religion, so it's not a series for the easily offended or those who find reading a Shakespeare play difficult. I did find it was best read in small chunks at a time, with short breaks to read something lighter between books.

An interesting take on the period. Recommended.

(For those who want to give it a try, book 1, Firedrake's Eye, is currently free on Amazon: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08HJSDWQW/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tki...
