Description
Can Kit unmask an enemy assassin before the queen’s time runs out…?
1585, London
Queen Elizabeth is gravely ill and her spymaster, Francis Walsingham, has received intelligence that there is a plot to assassinate her.
He sends his protégé Kit Scarlett and Scottish agent Iomhar Blackwood to gather information.
To their horror, they discover there is a plot to blow up Hampton Court Palace.
With Queen Elizabeth too unwell to be moved from the palace, it is imperative the plot is foiled as quickly as possible.
A search of Hampton Court is launched, with Iomhar leading the way, while Kit is given the task of guarding the queen.
Watching her queen fighting death and suspecting she has been poisoned, Kit soon realizes the threat could be within Hampton Court’s own walls…
Is there an enemy spy at the palace? Has gunpowder already been planted by an assassin?
And is someone in Queen Elizabeth’s inner circle slowly poisoning her…?
A SPY AT HAMPTON COURT is the third book in the Kit Scarlett Tudor Mysteries Series. It is a thrilling historical espionage adventure set in Elizabethan London with a feisty female lead.
Review
I zoomed through this book!
The plot is so engrossing, I couldn't stop reading.
Don't expect this to be full with historical accuracy and facts, you need to remember this is fiction...but it is excellent fiction!
The characters are fantastic, the pacing is intense, lots of action, mystery, and even a little romance...wonderful!
As soon as I finished reading I went to pre-order the next in the series, and expect I shall go back and read books one and two as well!
A very highly recommended, fun read!
