CIP info 13 year old Lady Grace Cavendish, favorite maid of honor of Elizabeth I, must solve a murder mystery and clear the name of her betrothed. Surprisingly good. While the stories are made up the historical information is solid. Dates are correct and the terms are true to the times. The author saw to include a glossary to help with the unfamiliar terms. It is a fun read and a pretty good mystery. It is always nice to see a strong female character. And adding Elizabeth I is a nice bonus. Lady Grace goes around saving the hide of a man she doesn’t even like even though she is betrothed to him. After she solves the mystery, she asks the Queen to wait awhile before she is betrothed again.
