    About this ebook

    The tenth gripping mystery to feature Ursula Blanchard, special aide to Queen Elizabeth I. Happily married to her third husband, Ursula Blanchard is rudely shaken on receipt of a threatening letter from the exiled Anne Percy, Countess of Northumberland, whose treasonous plot against Elizabeth I, Ursula helped foil a few months previously. Ursula dismisses the Countess’s letter as idle threats, but then a series of strange events rocks Ursula’s household – and Ursula herself is accused of witchcraft. Could Anne Percy really be orchestrating a plot against Ursula from her exile in the Netherlands? And, if so, how can Ursula prove it before she is hanged as a witch?

      This is the tenth outing in the Ursula Blanchard series. As ever, I enjoy catching up with the regular characters in this, though the very convoluted details of the revenge plot against Ursula (rather against the Queen and country) seemed a rather unrealistic and petty effort for the exiled Countess of Northumberland. An enjoyable and undemanding read.
    • 3/5
      Anne Percy threatens vengeance on Ursula Blanchard for her part in the collapse of the Percys plot. Things go badly.Probably no worse than the rest of the series, I'm just tired of them.
    • 2/5
      Very little if anything inclusive of Elizabeth, Lord Burghley, Walsingham...Mostly about Anne Percy: Countess of Northumberland & her plotted revenge against Ursula Blanchard-Stannard for foiling her previous plot to put Mary Scots on the throne.Ursula & her household are thrust into turmoil as Ursula & her maid Sybill are framed for witchcraft.
