Publisher's summary

Books 3 and 4 in the tudor mystery trials series. A Queen's Mercenary and A Queen's Knight.

Get the next two compelling books in the series. Richard and Jack are set on a mission to sell a stolen arms shipment to the Knight's of St John - how badly wrong could it go? Follow their adventures through Europe and the Malta to the Island fortress of the Knights.

The backdrop to their own struggle is the political tension in England. Mary I, convinced God has given her the task of returning England to the true faith, sends the Protestant reformers a stark and violent message.

Jack finds himself in a difficult and dangerous situation. His patience and his loyalty are sorely tested.

Catherine finds herself uncomfortably close to Elizabeth and is forced to accompany her to court, a court full of watchful eyes and whispers. Christopher Morley soon makes the most of this opportunity, pressing Catherine to embroil herself further in his schemes.

Simplistic story with a lot of gratuitous violence

Spoiler alert: Lizbet is the only character worth a damn and she is used and treated badly, the men are both/all fools.

Another Exciting Instalment

This story follows on from A Queen's Mercenary, at the end of that book it looked as if Richard and Jack had lost everything, but it seems they had a lot more to loose! Jack, with Lizbet's help, gets Richard to Malta where he is forced to make a stand and save them all.

A Queen's Knight

The title is a bit misleading, during this adventure Richard is far from the shining knight in armour. Indeed he succumbs to drug addiction and finds himself very much scraping the bottom the barrel. After he's hit rock bottom there is only one way to go really - back up.

Action Packed

Sword fights, battles, assassins and family feuds. To say there is a never a dull moment is a cliché, but it is true. Fast paced and well narrated. Actually googled Edward Devereux, and the story fits in so well with the book – maybe that’s exactly what did happen to him!

Enjoyed it

Got this on the whispersync so I could read and then switch to audio. This worked really well, and the narration is at a good pace and entertaining.

Great Historical Fiction

An exceptional story, weaving history, intrigue, class structure, social morays and more into a compelling story.

Good Listen

Lizbet grew even more on me in this book, and I am hoping she will continue to play a central role in the next books in the series. Good story with some good twists you will not see coming.
