In Book Eight of the Face Down series, sixteenth-century gentlewoman, herbalist, and sleuth Susanna, Lady Appleton, is faced with a visit to her home at Leigh Abbey by Queen Elizabeth. But there is more to the courtier sent to make preparations than first appears. Susanna is not pleased when he constructs a banqueting house in the branches of her favorite oak tree.
She's even less happy when a man falls over the railing of the banqueting house and breaks his neck. Was it an accident, suicide, or murder? Before the queen arrives, Susanna must discover the truth. This book was originally published by Perseverance Press in 2005.
