Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Someone Is Threatening The Court's Most Cherished Holiday...With Deadly Success.

The Queene's Christmas draws readers into the magnificent realm of Elizabeth Tudor and the magic of her Court at Yuletide, circa 1564. But in the intoxicating sixth novel of Karen Harper's celebrated Elizabeth I series, the Twelve Days of Christmas are murderously interrupted when the Dresser of the Queen's Privy Kitchen is found hanged and trussed like

the peacock he'd been fashioning for the holiday feast. With foul play afoot in her Court, Elizabeth does her royal utmost to track down the poor man's killer while striving to salvage the joy of Christmas. Doomed to suspect even her most trusted courtiers, she is nevertheless determined to vanquish the Christmas culprit-who will not only strike again but has

targeted Her Majesty as his ultimate prey.

"Karen Harper weaves a thrilling blend of historical detail and intriguing mystery. Her Queen Elizabeth I possesses the fine detective's instinct of Sherlock Holmes."

-Lisa Gardner, author of The Other Daughter

"A walk side by side with one of history's most dynamic characters."

-Anne Perry, author of Half Moon Street

Synopsis:

A lavish Yuletide celebration at the palace is marred when one of the queen's kitchen staff is found dead. With foul play afoot in her court, Elizabeth does her royal utmost to track down the killer while striving to salvage Christmas. Martin's Press.
