Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
The vivid and resourceful widow Susanna, Lady Appleton, is not wholly delighted to find that Elizabeth the Queen wishes sojourn at Leigh Abbey. This means that not only must Susanna to deal with the weaselly Tymberly, who prowls the house and grounds to see if they are suitable for her majesty, but also that she must move all her own household and goods for the queen. And Tymberly^B wants to build a banqueting house in Susanna's favorite old oak. Characters we have come to respect and sometimes to love--Susanna's housekeeper and confidant, Jennet; Nick Baldwin, whom Susanna loves but will not marry; Nick's dying, wicked mother--all get involved when Tymberly's slimy manservant is found dead and then a local man dies from a fall. Emerson's plot is deft and complex: she is at the top of her form here and leaves us with a breathless ending and lovely possibilities for future installments. GraceAnne DeCandido
