Book 2 in the Simon & Elizabeth Mysteries

Poison, Your Grace

King Edward VI seems likely to die young. Someone in the palace might have tried to hurry him to the grave, and the blame could fall on his sister Elizabeth. Enter the dangerous world of the Tudors as apprentice Simon Maldon works to protect both the king and his sister.




"Herring weaves a nifty tale of cunning and danger. Think of this series as a must-read prequel to other excellent mysteries featuring Queen Elizabeth I, such as those by Karen Harper. Featuring detailed settings, ample wit, and a fast pace, this historical shines."
