The acclaimed author of Murder in the Queen's Garden returns to Tudor England with amateur sleuth Kate Haywood embroiled in court intrigue and a devastating scandal.

1559. The Twelve Days of Christmas at Whitehall Palace will be celebrated as a grand affair. But there are those who wish to usher in the New Year by ending Queen Elizabeth's reign....

Despite evenings of banquets and dancing, the European delegates attending Her Majesty's holiday festivities are less interested in peace on earth than they are in fostering mistrust. Kate, the queen's personal musician, hopes she can keep the royal guests entertained.

But then Queen Elizabeth receives a most unwanted gift—an anonymous letter that threatens to reveal untoward advances from her predecessor Queen Catherine's last husband, Thomas Seymour. Tasked with finding the extortionist, Kate has barely begun investigating when one of Spain's visiting lords is found murdered. With two mysteries to unravel and an unsettling number of suspects to consider, Kate finds herself caught between an unscrupulous blackmailer and a cold-blooded killer....

      Starred review from October 15, 2015

      The fourth series outing (after Murder in the Queen's Garden) finds Kate Haywood, Queen Elizabeth's personal musician, busy writing music and organizing a masque at Whitehall Palace since the queen wishes to celebrate the Christmas season with traditional revels. Surrounded by court intrigue and scandal as European delegates arrive with gifts and plots, Kate keeps a wary eye on those who might seek to harm the monarch. When the queen receives mysterious threats and then one of the Spanish delegates is murdered, Kate stealthily investigates. VERDICT Carmack infuses this Christmas cozy with rich historical detail and irresistible machinations. Readers will be drawn into this depiction of the Tudor court and root for its talented amateur sleuth.
