Her writing is faultless, deftly interweaving the threads of the various storylines into a glowing, living tapestry. This is storytelling at its finest." - The Philadelphia Inquirer Aubrey's face flamed. Clenching and unclenching his fists, he stood before the altar, watching as the candles guttered in the sudden draft. Only gradually did he become aware of the cold. A pervasive chill seemed to have seeped into the stone walls of the chapel, as damp and icy and desolate as the December night. Aubrey could have led Justin up to his chambers above the hall. He chose, instead, to enter his private chapel, for that was his own province, and the familiarity of the surroundings might give him an edge. He was going to need every advantage he could get. Sharon Kay Penman's The Queen's Man is the first book in her bestselling medieval mystery series featuring Justin de Quincy

Aubrey opened his mouth. But no words came out. It was so quiet that he could hear his own breathing, uneven and much too rapid. Or was it Justiri s? After an eternity, Justin lowered the crucifix, replacing it upon the altar. Metcalf, Mitch (June 23, 2022). "SHOWBUZZDAILY's Wednesday 6.22.2022 Top 150 Cable Originals & Network Finals UPDATED".

"Tell him I will see him after the meal is done and my guests have gone totheir beds. Have the cooks see that he is fed." To Aubrey's surprise, the steward made no move to withdraw. "Well?"

Well researched, credibly plotted, realistically detailed, and undeniably entertaining.” - Library Journal The television series in loosely based on Christian Keye's fictional story and characters from his 2015 urban novel Ladies Night. Whereas the main character in the television series is set around Marilyn 'Madam' DeVille and her crimes while the novel sets premise of the main character Amp Anthony and his crimes and romance. Albeit his character in the series have followed similar experiences relating to the book being an ex-con. Madam's name in the series is also changed from 'Madam' Mary Fox (novel) to Marilyn DeVille and is the owner of Club Eden as in the book, but however does not share relation to Anthony as the television series intertwines their stories together, as Amp is now Madam's estranged nephew. One other character adapted from the novel, DJ Dime is also named Allison, who in similarity with the book befriends and have a romantic relationship with Amp Anthony. The premise of the television series revolves more about the lives of the many exotic dancers at Club Eden but creates and leaves the central focus on Madam who becomes the villain and savior of the show. Aubrey de Quincy was caught off balance and furious with himself for his negligence; he ought to have expected this. Throughout their meal, the sole topic had been King Richard's disappearance. All of England--and indeed, most of Christendom--talked of little else this Christmastide, for more than two months had passed since the Lionheart had sailed from Acre. By December, other crusaders had begun to reach English ports. But none had word of the king. I've always enjoyed Sharon Penman's historical novels but didn't know she had also written a series of historical mysteries set in the English court of Eleanor of Aquitaine. Her son, Richard the Lionheart is currently missing on crusade, feared dead and his brother John is plotting to declare him dead and take his crown. This first in the series is perhaps not as well crafted as her historical novels set in the same period, but is nonetheless a very enjoyable read if, like me, you enjoy cosy historical mysteries. A pesar de contar con el respaldo del secretario de la reina, el puesto de mayor poder tras la propia monarca, nadie respeta la autoridad de John. Todo el mundo le pone trabas, le insultan o pasan de él. Resulta muy frustrante ver cómo se esfuerza por investigar y seguir pistas mientras los sospechosos o testigos le ignoran, se enojan con él o le mienten constantemente.I've read four of Penman's longer historical novels and loved each of them, so I was excited to try this, a shorter historical mystery. In the end I enjoyed some of it it, but didn't love it as much as her others. This is a nice story of a young man, reeling from finding out who his father actually is, who then tries to save a man who's being robbed and killed on the road to London. Before the man dies he entrusts the hero with a letter that must be secreatly delivered to the Queen. Queen Eleanor then charges him to find who was behind the murder. A suspenseful, professional-grade north country procedural whose heroine, a deft mix of compassion and attitude, would be welcome to return and tie up the gaping loose end Box leaves. The unrelenting cold makes this the perfect beach read.
