Less of an interesting investigation but more insight into Dame Frevisse as a character. I'm quite fond of her.

4.0

The Dame Frevisse books concerned with the intrigues associated with the reign of King Henry VI are generally much more gripping than the others, and this one was no exception. Introducing properly the Beaufort clan, who are at the heart of much of the path to the War of the Roses, this book also gets bonus points for including a Wycliff Bible reference (and a theological rebel side to Frevisse we sadly never see again).
