In this mystery novel, Lady Grace goes on progress with Elizabeth I and her retinue. Lady Grace is again employed by the Queen to discover the source of accidents that seem to threaten the Queen's life. I did not think this one held together as well as the first two, and seemed to lose the focus near the end. It was also highly predictable. The historical notes at the end were informative and helpful. (This one was on my Kindle and loaded with typos, so that was a distraction to me.) This is the third book in the excellent young adult, historical fiction, mystery series that is really written by Patricia Finney. Finney puts together the excellent historical research she uses for her adult books and makes a wonderful entry-level series for young readers interested in historical fiction. The heroine is great, the plot entertains, and there is some lovely humor sprinkled throughout. I enjoyed these as an adult reader as a quick read, and I think others would too. Grace is particularly funny and heartwarming in this volume. Highly recommended. Another mystery in the ongoing series of Lady Grace Mysteries. This has the queen on her progress and when she arrives at the house of a long-term friend and supporter she finds herself narrowly escaping death. Grace has to investigate and determine who and why. There's nothing heavy or involved her but I enjoyed the read. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Now Grace, a spunky girl who romps through the gardens with the laundry maids and court tumblers and rolls her eyes at her fellow ladies, chronicles the court intrigues that swirl around her. . . . The Royal Court is on its summer travels and Lady Grace is sure something strange is going on. As Queen Elizabeth narrowly escapes a series of mysterious accidents, Grace must investigate just who might be behind the conspiracy.
