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

It is July of 1570, and Queen Elizabeth I and her court are on summer progress. Currently, they are staying at Medenham Manor, where the Earl, Lord Reynold, is rebuilding the manor house in the latest style. However, soon after the court arrives, rumors begin to circulate that the manor is being haunted by the ghost of the first Earl, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances more than a hundred years ago. Is there really a ghost at Medenham Manor, or are the spooky happenings the work of someone who has a grudge against Lord Reynold? Unable to resist a mystery, Grace is determined to discover the truth.

This is another good book from the Lady Grace Mysteries series. Through Grace's diary we learn many details about life in Elizabethan times while reading an enjoyable story. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoyed other books in the series, as well as to new readers who enjoy reading about this time period.

My kids and I love this series, hard to get in the U.S though. Gives historical info in every book, people, words etc. Hope some U.s vendor starts to carry them at a reasonable price.
