Hollow Crown, David Roberts

I found the language flat and the characters unconvincing, so I can't tell you if the plot went anywhere. Sample:

Edward was immensely pleased to meet the distinguished economist and his Russian wife. He had long thought Benyon was one of the few economists who made sense and moreover was, at least in his private life, an outsider and a rebel. His interests were not the usual pursuits of the upper class — hunting, shooting and fishing — but books, theatre, painting, and ballet.
