Description

A fabulously spooky mystery to add to this compelling historical series. Explore the fascinating world of Queen Elizabeth I's court within the daybooke of Lady Grace Cavendish, her favourite Maid of Honour. A PUZZLE ON THE STAGE! A new play- Intrigue, is just about to open in Whitehall. The play includes a very clever, convincing death scene, and Queen Elizabeth is desperate to see it before the rest of her country. But when the Queen and her court go to watch, the death scene is far too convincing - in fact, it's real! Richard Fitzgrey is murdered in front of the Queen! Leaf through the pages of the daybooke of Lady Grace, favourite Maid of Honour of Queen Elizabeth I, and enter a theatrical world full of mystery . . .
