Westerson’s sequel to The Twilight Queen finds its astute jester, an expert entertainer and gossiper, once again serving as reluctant inquisitor. Fans of mysteries set during the Tudor era will appreciate the historical details that are skillfully woven into Westerson’s gripping story.
The author of the Crispin Guest mysteries writes about Victorian street life and desperation in a pastiche relieved by humor. Suggest Vicki Delany’s “Gemma Doyle” series as a read-alike.
An appropriate end to Westerson’s series. Long-time fans will be eager to see if Crispin can triumph over the past, and anyone who enjoys medieval mysteries can follow it easily.
In his fourth case (after The Demon's Parchment) disgraced knight Crispin Guest is off to Canterbury, and would you be surprised to note that Chaucer plays a part, too?...
Westerson skillfully lulls her sleuth and the reader into a sense of "I know what is going on," then zings them with the truth. Absolutely first-class; highly recommended for fans of medieval mysteries.
