Enter the world of librarian Jacqueline Kirby, and into the realm of murder. Wherever she goes, a mystery is sure to follow! As she spends the weekend with a friend, and a pro-Ricardian meeting, something begins to go wrong. First guests are attacked and left in different positions, all in ways that they supposedly died during the days of Richard III. But something is wrong, and Jacqueline is determined to figure out what it is before someone gets seriously hurt.. or killed.
If you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes, you are going to LOVE these books! I got hooked on her books with the Amelia Peabody series, but these are just as good! Grab a book and a cozy afternoon and sit down for some fun!
