When one deadly plot is foiled, another begins…

England, 1583

Tom Walsingham is back in London, being groomed for intelligence work by his spymaster cousin, Sir Francis.

An anonymous informer has started sending letters from the French ambassador’s residence, claiming to have bribed the man’s secretary to pass on information.

The informer has discovered messages between the French and Mary, Queen of Scots, which could harm the English Queen Elizabeth.

When someone who works for the French Ambassador is killed in suspicious circumstances, Sir Francis sends Tom to investigate the matter – and to uncover the identity of the informer.

Tom must find a way into the French Ambassador’s good graces and make friends within his retinue without giving himself away.

And as the news from Scotland grow more and more alarming, it becomes imperative that Tom unveils the identity of the secret informer and exposes the intrigues at play.

Can Tom unravel the mystery and protect the Queen? Will he unmask the killer?

Or could he find himself the target of a deadly plot…?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

C. P. has been called an Anglomaniac, an editor, a playwright, a translator, a blogger, and several kinds of writer – and never denied any of it. She lives in the whereabouts of Mantua, Italy (incidentally the place where Shakespeare’s Romeo gets the poison) in the company of her very patient mother, two unhinged cats and a large garden.

She began by studying the Classics and International Relations – and then swerved to the timber trade first, and later the pen and the stage. A passion for history and stories has led her to write historical fiction both in Italian and English.

A serious theatre-geek, she also writes, directs, teaches playwriting, does backstage work, and very occasionally understudies with Mantua’s historic Compagnia Campogalliani.

C.P. writes The Tom Walsingham Mysteries, murder mysteries with a dash of espionage, set in Elizabethan times, between England and France.

    I found this book intriguing and entertaining. A different take on the rivalry between Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart.
    Liked the characters and the solid mystery
    Recommended.
    Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine
  • Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2023
    I love to read anything about Elizabethan England and The Tom Walsingham Mysteries are no exception. I loved the first book in the series, The Road to Murder and I also love this one. Tom Walsingham is the cousin to Queen Elizabeth's spymaster, Francis Walsingham. Tom helps out, taking on more responsibilities, and encountering danger at every turn. I can't wait to read the next installment of the series.

    Why would an author consciously choose to name a character Fagot? The second 'g' is missing, but the connotation for me was apparent. I have spent my life filtering out the word.

    This is the kind of book I like, but somehow I didn't find it as engaging as the previous one. I'm not sure why.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Rather slow plot
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 2, 2022
    The book followed on from number one but I have to say that the plot seemed slow to form and I regret I found myself loosing interest after the first few chapters.
    Not as good as book one but only my opinion.

    Like the first in the series, this is a complex, historically based tale with believable, consistent charactrs.
