4.6 out of 5 stars 516 ratings
Kit Scarlett is once more spying for Elizabeth Tudor! For fans of S J Parris, Andrew Taylor, S W Perry and Andrew Swanston.

Two powerful queens are pitted against each other – but who will be victorious?

1586

Female espionage agent, Kit Scarlett is stationed at Chartley Castle, where Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, is under house arrest for plotting against the English Queen Elizabeth.

Kit helps Sir Francis Walsingham’s top codebreaker, Thomas Phelippes, as they intercept Mary Stuart’s communications with her conspiring supporters.

And when they have the proof that Mary Stuart has sanctioned Queen Elizabeth’s assassination, Kit races to deliver the message to Walsingham.

But before they can persuade Queen Elizabeth to sign Mary Stuart’s death warrant, the Scottish queen escapes.

And as Kit delves deeper into her mission, she finally discovers answers about her own past that shock her to her core.

With Queen Elizabeth’s life now in imminent jeopardy, can Kit find Mary Stuart and bring her to justice?

Even if Kit achieves her task, will she find the London she returns to is no longer the home she once thought it was…?

THE TRAITOR QUEEN is the fifth book in the Kit Scarlett Tudor Mysteries Series. It is a thrilling historical espionage adventure set in Elizabethan London with a feisty female lead.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Adele is a writer with a fascination for history. Her focus is fiction in the Tudor era, telling the stories of women and adventure. Whether it’s inspired by true events or created purely from imagination, she desires to write stories from this captivating era that haven’t been written before of those on the edges of society, the paupers, the spies, the workers and those who have not had a voice.

Adele studied English at the University of Exeter before moving into an eclectic career of publishing and marketing. Having worked with the National Trust’s photography department for two years, Adele travelled the country to visit the landscapes and historical places that have carved England and Wales’ heritage. When Covid struck, the job disappeared overnight, and Adele committed her time to ghost writing and authoring her own stories, returning to her childhood dream job. Since then, she has had over twenty successful books published as a ghost writer and hopes to turn that success into stories now written in her own name.

    5.0 out of 5 stars At Last!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Amidst all the turmoil, mayhem and murders, there is at least some peace to be found from the past. I love a happy ending… at least for some. Knowing history, of course, there is no happy ending for so many of the nobility. At least we know of one “noble” who is finding a new happiness within a new way of life. Wonderful final
    book, where the bad guys lose and the good guys win. I loved it. A mostly short and to the point review.

    Does not disappoint. For the unsettled times of this era, it fully captures that experience. Don’t expect to like Mary queen of Scots when its over though. Great wrap up tale.

    You dont need to be a history buff or a fan of historical novels to be totally engrossed in Adele Jordan’s Kit Scarlett novels.
    I love reading about the Elizabethan court and its intrigues, but this book could stand alone simply for its rich characters and suspenseful plotting. I loved every minute I spent with this book. As someone who paid little attention to history as a student, my “ learning” has come strictly from period novels. I enjoy learning about the partisan politics of the time and the bitter tension between Queen Elizabeth 1 and Mary Stuart.

    I found this a very satisfying novel.

    I've read all five of the Kit Scarlett stories. Each one is a clever, interesting tale of its own but even better if read in sequence. A fascinating mixture of real history and and imagination. Some of the best books I've ever read. Highly recommended.

    A dream of a past life when you were very young. Later being brought up by someone and somewhere very different. The past does not let go!

    A brilliant series, I have immensely enjoyed every book. Gripping stories, of "will they,won't they", great twists and turns . I couldn't put the books down, proper page turning. Well done Ms Jordan I am looking forward to more books by you. I highly recommend that history fiction and facts lovers read these books.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all five of the Kit Scarlet books and am not quite sure how I will survive without a sixth. Captivating from the start of book one until the last page of book five. Thank you.
