Secret trysts. Daring dalliances. And a body in the orchard.

It’s midsummer, 1591, at Richmond Palace, and love is in the air. Gallant courtiers sport with great ladies while Tom and Trumpet bring their long-laid plans to fruition at last. Everybody’s doing it - even Francis Bacon enjoys a private liaison with the secretary to the new French ambassador. But the Queen loathes scandal and will punish anyone rash enough to get caught.

Still, it’s all in a summer day until a young man is found dead. He had few talents beyond a keen nose for gossip and was doubtless murdered to protect a secret. But what sort - romantic, or political? They carried different penalties: banishment from court or a traitor’s death. Either way, worth killing to protect.

Bacon wants nothing more than to leave things alone. He has no position and no patron; in fact, he’s being discouraged from investigating. But can he live with himself if another innocent person dies?

I was missing Bacon, Clarridy and Trumpet. And, here they are, back again, in better form than ever.

This was a great story with a good number of twists and turns. All around good fun and a fine mystery as well.

Highly recommended!

Great to have the team back

Don't hesitate, Anna always delivers on the setting and the mystery. England in the middle ages was a political nest of vipers. Anna's characters fit that bill.

Another excellent read.
