“The Lady Grace Mysteries: Betrayal” by Grace Cavendish


This is the second book of the Lady Grace Mysteries.

Grace and the rest of court are off to visit the Royal Shipyards. While there, one of the captains falls for Lady Sarah, who flirts shamelessly back. When Sarah goes missing, a note arrives, saying that she has eloped with the captain. Grace knows Sarah would never do such a thing, so she heads off (with her friend Masou) to bring her back. Will Grace save Sarah’s reputation? Or have the adventure of her life?

This book was as enjoyable as the first. Grace is brave and loyal, even to those who don’t really deserve it, and even though her adventure takes her far from the court life she knows, she doesn’t break down and cry. Masou is a good friend, and I hope to see more of him in future books. Those who want to try historical fiction, or read more about Queen Elizabeth, would like this book. I give it a 7.5.
