About

After writing 22 mysteries for young readers, I decided to write a novel for adults under the pen name Eric Hamilton. My wife and I have always admired Princess Diana, so I decided to pursue a novel about the Queen of Hearts. It took four years to research and write.

Reviews

<a><strong>I Loved It!</strong></a> <p>by Alexandra Henley<br /> Toronto, Ontario</p> <p>As a kid, I read Eric Wilson's books ALL the time.  So when I heard that he wrote an adult novel (as Eric Hamilton) I was more excited than I'd like to admit.  I was a little worried about whether he could successfully pull off a book for adults, but I'm happy to say that I really enjoyed <em>Love &amp; Death in Paris '97</em>.  It has a similar feel to his earlier mysteries, with fast-paced writing, dangerous scenarios and a quirky main character (Daniel Plain), but this one is definitely not for children!</p> <p><em>Love &amp; Death in Paris '97</em> isn't your typical Princess Diana conspiracy book.  Most of the conspiracy theory books I've read have been really well researched, but they're almost always non-fiction.  There's so much information thrown at you, and for me, it doesn't stick.  Eric Hamilton's book is just as well researched (if not more) but he presents the info in a fictional form, so the facts are handed out in a more natural way.  Thanks to this, every element of the book comes to life.  And even though Princess Diana is only seen a couple of times, her character is so supported by facts that she easily became the main player.</p> <p>As for the conspiracy theory itself, it's hard to talk about it without giving three-quarters of the novel away, so I'll just say that it surprised me it's not a hokey, convenient theory by any means.  It actually makes a lot of sense and it's not something I've ever considered before.</p> As you can probably tell, I loved this book and I hope Eric Hamilton writes another novel featuring Daniel Plain.
