The Death Maze by Ariana Franklin
Twelfth-century anatomist, Adelia Aguilar must once again examine the dead as gruesome events are beginning to unfold...Henry II's favourite mistress, Rosamund Clifford, has been poisoned - and, rumour says, by his jealous wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine. If Henry believes the stories, England will be torn apart as King battles Queen.
Highly entertaining.. Franklin is an adept storyteller who disseminates her research into the period with clarity and lightness of touch. * The Times *
Franklin is one of the very best creators of medieval whodunits writing today. The snow falls, the death toll mounts... and the Thames freezes over in this wonderfully atmospheric, fast-paced and intelligent recreation of a vanished world. * Guardian *
Captivating... this excellent adventure delivers high drama. * The New York Times *
It's as original as its prize-winning predecessor: a real treat. * Literary Review *
Mesmerizing... A colourful cast of characters, both good and evil, enhance a tale that will keep readers on edge until the final page. * Publishers Weekly *
