Historical mystery and power unabated!
Dark Queen Watching (Margaret Beaufort Mystery #3) by Paul Doherty
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Plots and counterplots swirl around Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond, and her son Henry Tudor. I love Doherty’s comment in the Author’s Note about Margaret. “In the end she proved to be the dark nemesis of the House of York.” (With that comment Doherty’s title slots in seamlessly),
A nerve racking read filled with the desperation of the age, the evil of men, and all matters pertaining to the lust for power and kingship.
We have Edward of York endeavoring to be rid of a claimant to the English throne; Margaret’s sworn man Christopher Urswicke’s father, Sir Thomas, Recorder of London, plotting and planning, spinning his web far and wide; a hidden group of feared Castilian assassins, the Garduna; and a secret French chapter loyal to the French king, just for starters. Third in this series of enthralling historical novels, we’re once again presented with a riveting portrayal of these violent medieval times, alongside a deep political mystery, all rolled into one. Satisfying indeed!
