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.
