Summary
Finding the battered body of a young boy was not unusual in Bloody Mary's cruel England. However, the stabbed tongue, a false seal and strange letter implicate Princess Elizabeth, threatening to bring down the Tudor Dynasty.
Doctor John Dee and his secret apprentice, Margaretta, using his brilliant mind and her strange abilities, embark on a perilous journey to solve this brutal murder. Before their work can really begin, another body is found. As Dee and Margaretta delve deeper into their investigation, they uncover a web of deceit, political intrigue and treachery that threatens to engulf them both. When more bodies are discovered and arrests are made, time is running out. With rumours of witchcraft and treason swirling around them, can they untangle the mystery before it's too late?

Absorbing novel
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel by G J Williams and, apart from a very few mispronunciations, the narration by Bethan Rose Young. Unfortunately my grandfather never taught his London born children Welsh and died when I was a baby as my mother always believed he would have taught me, having time to spend in his old age. I liked hearing the Welsh language and appreciated the fact that the author included it in this novel.
The story was fascinating and I’ve long had an interest in John Dee. I was taken deep into the time period by the author’s excellent writing, she paints a vivid picture of the time and there is a wealth of diverse characters in this novel.
Having looked up her biographical information on Audible I note that she is Welsh by birth but lives in England and like me is an ailurophile (thank goodness Margaretta’s mum knew how to help the kitten!).
I’ve already used a credit on the next instalment, The Wolf’s Shadow (another intriguing title), and look forward to listening to this after a space given to listening to thrillers set in modern times.
Grateful thanks to the author for such an involving, exciting and well written novel.
