Forced to choose among three suitors selected by Her Majesty Elizabeth I, 13-year-old heiress Lady Grace Cavendish is later horrified when one of the rejected suitors is found dead and her fiance is charged with the murder. I’ve found two types of “juvenile” novels. The more common type focuses on the silliness of young people, with lots of emphasis on slang and texting, and I have no interest in those at all. The wonderful “Chronicles of Narnia” best represent the second type, which offers straightforward but logical and involving plots and unsubtle but accurate characterization, and can be read and enjoyed by all ages. I am happy to report this series starts as the second type. There are a lot of convenient plot devices, such as Grace and Ellie happening to overhear a substitution plot and Grace’s uncle being the court physician, but the plot moves along as such a spanking clip that I didn’t realize it until afterwards. There is even a critical piece of information that is not given to the reader and I didn’t throw the book against the wall. Very fast read (only took me 2 hours) but thoroughly enjoyable.Read full review
