Face Down Beside St. Anne's Well
Price:
$3.00
In Book Nine of the Face Down series, sixteenth-century gentlewoman, herbalist, and sleuth Susanna, Lady Appleton, travels north to the old Roman baths at Buxton to help her foster daughter, Rosamond, discover the truth about the sudden death of Madame Louise Poitier, French teacher at Bawkenstanes Manor, where Rosamond has been sent to learn to behave like a gentlewoman. Does the Frenchwoman's death have anything to do with the fact that Mary Queen of Scots, now a prisoner of the English, wishes to visit the baths? Could there be a spy at Bawkenstanes Manor? Or does the motive for murder lie closer to home?
