A Murder at Rosamund's Gate
Author: Susanna Calkins
Publisher: Minotaur Books
ISBN: 1250007917
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
For Lucy Campion, a seventeenth-century English chambermaid serving in the household of the local magistrate, life is an endless repetition of polishing pewter, emptying chamber pots, and dealing with other household chores until a fellow servant is ruthlessly killed, and someone close to Lucy falls under suspicion. Lucy can't believe it, but in a time where the accused are presumed guilty until proven innocent, lawyers aren't permitted to defend their clients, and—if the plague doesn't kill the suspect first—public executions draw a large crowd of spectators, Lucy knows she may never find out what really happened. Unless, that is, she can uncover the truth herself. Determined to do just that, Lucy finds herself venturing out of her expected station and into raucous printers' shops, secretive gypsy camps, the foul streets of London, and even the bowels of Newgate prison on a trail that might lead her straight into the arms of the killer. In her debut novel Murder at Rosamund's Gate, Susanna Calkins seamlessly blends historical detail, romance, and mystery in a moving and highly entertaining tale.

For Thomas, bastard by birth, the opportunity to fight and serve the King was an honor he should never have expected, but by chance received.

And then things get even worse, for they fall in love. Could it really be that the path most difficult to follow is the only one worth choosing?
