Crime in the Queen's Court — Reader discussion

I really enjoyed how 'Crime in the Queen's Court' weaves historical details with a compelling mystery plot. The setting felt authentic, and the author did a great job creating an atmosphere full of courtly intrigue that kept me guessing until the end. The characters were well-developed, especially the protagonist who navigates the complexities of royal politics while solving the crime. It’s a perfect pick for readers who love mysteries with a dash of history. What did you think about the balance between historical context and the suspense elements in the story?

What stood out to me was how the book avoided relying solely on typical mystery tropes and instead focused on the nuanced relationships and power dynamics within the Queen’s court. This added layers to the investigation and made the unfolding of events feel more organic. The pacing was just right, not too rushed but engaging enough to maintain suspense. I’d recommend this to anyone who appreciates a thoughtful mystery with a strong sense of place. How did the court’s political intrigue enhance or complicate the crime-solving aspect for you?
