The fourth intriguing mystery featuring Lady Grace, Maid of Honour and special secret investigator to Queen Elizabeth I.

Everyone at the Royal Court was so excited today - the marvellous Frost Fair has come to London, and we all went ice skating! But there was a terrible discovery when the body of a man was found at the edge of the frozen river.

Why was he killed, and what is the meaning of the silver coins placed over his eyes? Are they a message - or a warning? As the Queen's own special investigator, I, Lady Grace, must uncover the truth . . .

tBk mag

This is a wonderfully gripping novel that brings the Elizabethan era vividly to life. It has an ingenious plot and it's told in a way that totally immerses the reader in the story and its coloufully described characters.

The Northern Echo

Highly recommend it to people who like mystery stories.

Historical Novels Review

This first of the Lady Grace Cavendish mysteries is gripping, full of fascinating details about the times and the people who lived in them, and superbly researched.

Through The Looking Glass

Exciting and adventurous

Aquila

The historical accuracy is amazing and you'll really feel that you're living the mystery with Grace.

Newcastle Upon Tyne Evening Chronicle

I found this to be a fast-paced book... the beauty of this book is that there is a glossary at the end (which is really good). There are also notes about poisons...apparel and a 'Fact Behind the Fiction' section which I really appreciated. It's nice when an author takes the time to let you in on a part of their research process and distinguishes things that could be either real or fake. All-in-all, I really liked this book.
