The least believable of the Lady Grace Cavendish mysteries, this one is absolutely the most fun. The more ludicrous it gets, the more delightful the writing and the more suited to its audience. Seriously, just good stuff.

5.0
A thrilling adventure set in the Elizabethan Court, with Lady Grace Cavendish, one of the Queen's Maids of Honour, caught up in a turbulent episode when one of her fellow Ladies becomes inappropriately involved with a certain Captain Drake, and then vanishes. Can Grace rescue the missing girl with her honour intact without getting blown up at sea or, worse, rising the wrath of the Queen? Fast-paced and inventive, this packs a lot into its short length. Finney is utterly at home in the world of Elizabethan intrigue and makes the whole thing come alive.
