ReplyDeleteThe Master of All Desires by the late Judith Merkle Riley is an historical fantasy featuring Catherine de Medici.
ReplyDeleteFor something more academic, Robert Knecht's "Catherine de Medici- Profiles in Power" is good. Also, many books about the French wars of religion will feature her.
