Queen & Country by Shirley Mckay
1587. After three years exiled from home and family, Hew Cullan returns to Scotland with his new English wife, Frances. But the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots has unleashed anti-English sentiment in the Scottish people. Enlisted by King James VI to solve the mystery of a death's head painting, Hew must embark on a quest for love and life.'This is a historical fiction series that crosses the gender divide, adding intrigue to the excellent sense of time and place.. I defy anyone to read that last page without finding something in their eye that makes it water'
* The Bookbag *'This is a richly imagined tale, very well researched'
