Any additional comments?

I normally love Matthew's book and own all of them as audio books, I enjoy them that much.
So was very disappointed with this one. I know it was a short story and just introducing you to a New set of characters/ type of story, but it seemed to lack Matthew's gun ho action. Yes I know it was set in olden times with things like dungeons and the rack etc but he has written plots set in the past a lot better (see Temple). I guess it didn't help that it was so short and I didn't warm up to the main character.

Not his best.

What a good murder mystery and what's more its free. Princess Elizabeth Tudor's teacher is asked by Henry viii to find his missing pleasure girl. What the tutor finds is horrifying.

A free book.

Any additional comments?

I didn't think I would like the idea of a book teaser as I don't like them in TV or films, but this was so intriguing and also so complete. It could have been a complete "very" short story.

Promising teaser

A most enjoyable and rather human tale of Kings and... errrr... "Maids"...

As with most brilliant men, Mr Ascham, is given the impossible to achieve and shines...

Royal... Pardon?
