About this book
Fans of bestselling authors Anne Perry and Ellis Peters are sure to love Karen Harpers new historical mystery series rich with period detail and featuring Elizabeth Tudor the future queen of England as its heroine. Living in exile in the English countryside the twenty-five-year-old Princess Elizabeth awaits her fate during the waning years of her ill and childless half sisters reign. Despite an occasional truce there has always been bad blood between Queen Mary and the princess since Elizabeths mother Anne Boleyn replaced Marys mother Catherine of Aragon in the heart of King Henry VIII. Mary has already sent Elizabeth to the Tower of London when a group of Protestants raise a rebellion in her name forcing Mary to release her and the half sisters into an uneasy dtente. Little does Elizabeth know that in the autumn of 1558 she will be called upon to explore not only Englands rural heartland but also her own heart. At great risk to her person and her nations future she plunges herself into an investigation of a multiple murder where she might very well become a master poisoners next victim.
