Reseña del libro "A Play of Treachery"

THE TREACHERY OF WAR...In agreeing to serve the powerful Bishop Beaufort, Joliffe and his players have made what may be a deal with the devil. It surely seems so in the winter of 1436, when the Bishop sends Joliffe alone to France and into the middle of a war.There, Joliffe is to act as a servant to the duchess Jacquetta of Bedford -- young, beautiful, and recently widowed. But his real mission is to train as a spy under the late duke's spymaster, and he soon finds that all the wealth of a widow's household is no defense against murder; a city's walls are no defense against enemies within; and not only mean can serve as spies...PRAISE FOR THE JOLIFFE MEDIEVAL MYSTERIES"If you are an historical mystery fan...you'll want to rush out and get this wonderful series ... Entertains and confounds with its intricately plotted mystery and richly detailed writing..." - The Romance Readers Connection"Brings the period to lush life...

Her novels are a dream to read." - Aunt Agatha's NewsletterHerodotus Award Winner.Twice nominated for the Edgar AwardTwice nominated for the Minnesota Book AwardA Romantic Times Top Pick.
