This was an entertaining and richly detailed historical tale, but it was more a political suspense story than a mystery. If you are interested in the behind-the-scenes activities of medieval players or powerful English lords, this book will fascinate. If you are looking for a whodunit, this may not be your choice.

The most enjoyable so far in the series, this book is much more of a spy novel than a whodunnit. Joliffe being drawn more and more into the intrigue around court is memorable, and the descriptions of London are startlingly vivid. A good holiday or distraction read.

The "mystery" in this book is almost non-existent, but I enjoyed the tour of 15th century London from the perspective of a troupe of players.
