In her 14th series outing (after A Perilous Alliance), Ursula Blanchard is sent to Yorkshire to acquire a medieval manuscript currently in the possession of a group of recusant nuns...
In her 13th outing (after Traitor's Tears), thrice-married Ursula is urged to wed again in order to build an alliance with France; along the way, she also has to ferret out a spy sharing too many secrets with the French and Spanish...
Thanks to Buckley's ability to sketch out deftly her characters' backstories, number 12 (after A Rescue for a Queen) can be read independently of earlier titles. Fact is, once readers meet Ursula, their appreciation of her many talents (including lock picking) grows exponentially. A real gem of a historical series liberally doused with intrigue and adventure.
Abundant foreshadowing, exciting action, and well-drawn characters make Buckley's ninth entry in her romantic suspense series stand tall. Readers might also enjoy Peg Herring's series featuring a younger Elizabeth. For female-led intrigue from other time periods, also consider Miriam Grace Monfredo or Carol K. Carr.
