The Thorne Maze - first US edition

by Karen Harper

Harper reaches back into Elizabethan history to construct another intriguing whodunit involving the court of Queen Elizabeth I. After a clumsy attempt on her life, the queen summons her most trusted advisors and servants to help her investigate the crime. Led by her chief counselor, William Cecil, and her resourceful herbalist, Meg Milligrew, this loyal band of amateur detectives scurries to protect the queen and expose a cold-blooded killer after two bodies are discovered in thickets of the royal maze at Hampton Court. Elizabethan England comes alive in all its pomp and pageantry, deadly intrigue and scandal-and fine feasting-in this acclaimed mystery series featuring the young queen, Elizabeth Tudor, as amateur sleuth. Fifth in the series.
