Enjoyed the first book in the series a lot. The second was ok. This third book is awful. The main characters constantly acting like petulant children. What was yhe author thinking? It would be okay if one behaved so. But all of them? Very disappointing. I dont like bring irritated all the time when reading.

Every so often I love a good historical murder mystery, and this was a good murder mystery

Dialled up with sexual tension, action and some good old pulls of the heart strings

It's England August 1588 and the Lady Alice Trumpington (aka Trumpet) has arranged her marriage to an old Viscount Surdeval. After their wedding night he is found dead -murdered? But what if the Viscount is not the first recusant Catholic that has been killed.
Bacon and his students investigate.
Very enjoyable, love the characters and the style of writing, and hoping that there is another in the series.
