5.0 out of 5 stars Another great mystery featuring Lady Grace., October 6, 2005

This review is from: Exile (Lady Grace Mysteries) (Hardcover)

This is the fifth book in the Lady Grace Mysteries series, about Lady Grace Cavendish, a thirteen-year-old Maid of Honour at the court of Queen Elizabeth I.

It's January 1570, and a new visitor is arriving at court. Banoo Yasmine is a young noblewoman from the Middle Eastern country of Sharkand. When the king of Sharakand was overthrown, Banoo Yasmine's family was murdered because they had supported him, and only she escape. In England, she hopes to regain her fortune so she can return to Sharakand and restore the rightful ruler, and has decided to ask the Queen for help. However, soon after Banoo Yasmine arrives, the Heart of Kings, the famed ruby of Sharakand, disappears. Grace's friend Ellie, a young laundrymaid at the palace, is blamed for the theft when the ruby is found in her laundry basket. Grace knows Ellie would never steal and is determined to find the real thief before her friend is punished for something she did not do.

I loved the first four Lady Grace mysteries and am pleased to say I loved this one as well. As always, Grace is a great character who brings to life the world of Elizabethan England, and the historical details are excellent. I can't wait to read the upcoming books in this series. I would recommend this series to readers who love historical mysteries or who have a special interest in the Elizabethan era.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where's Feud?, June 24, 2006

This review is from: Exile (The Lady Grace Mysteries) (Library Binding)

Yasmine, who is in exile (hence the title of the book). All of the court are intrigued by the new arrival, as well as her pet panther. Grace, most of all, is attracted to the panther and manages to forge a friendship with the new arrival over her pet. When Yasmine's reknowned ruby disappears, Grace immediately begins investigating to clear her friend Ellie's name. More fun and intrigue in the Court of Queen Elizabeth!
