An excellent addition to this great historical mystery series.
The plot and the characters are as good as usual and the historical background is vivid and well researched.
The mystery is solid, full of twists and turns, and it kept me guessing.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

4.0
December 1592. Henry Carey, Baron Hunsdon, has formed the Lord Chamberlain's Mens' troupe. But on the morning of their departure to Scadbury, one of the actors is found dead, stabbed, in his bed. Is he one of Burghley's men. But this is only the start of the deaths.
Does Burghley have another man in the troupe, and what other schemes is he orchestrating, with the other Privy Council members.
Meanwhile at Scadbury Manor the actors are rehearsing Marlowe's play Edward II, for its one performance, but are coming concerned over the content.
Is there a connection to Marlowe's past spying activities, will he discover the motive and the who behind the killings
An entertaining Elizabethan historical murder mystery.
