![]() ![]() I bought all four – because, of course, I knew I would probably enjoy them once I read them – but I’ve had this one sitting on the shelf for almost four years. ![]() Justin’s successful delivery of the letter to the queen leads to his assignment – discovering who had this man killed, why, and who might know what’s happened to King Richard.ĭespite having read and adored most of Sharon Kay Penman’s books, I’d never actually read any of her medieval mysteries before this one. The Angevin Empire is in a bad place, as King Richard has gone missing on his return from the Crusades. When leaving, his thoughts clouded with anger and betrayal, he stumbles upon a murder scene, and receives a letter meant for Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. Finally at an age to set off on his own, Justin discovers that his father is actually the benefactor he’d already been familiar with, Aubrey de Quincey, nothing less than the Bishop of Coventry. Justin de Quincey has received an excellent education for 12th century England, despite the fact that he’s never known either of his parents. ![]()
