Summary
In a remote English manor house, modern admirers of the much-maligned King Richard III—one of Shakespeare's most extraordinary villains—are gathered for a grand weekend of dress-up and make-believe murder. But the fun ends when the masquerade turns more sinister . . . and deadly. Jacqueline Kirby, an American librarian on hand for the festivities, suddenly finds herself in the center of strange, dark doings . . . and racing to untangle a murderous puzzle before history repeats itself in exceptionally macabre ways.
Review
Clearly one of her earlier novels. The introduction was slow, the "who done it" explanation drug on for pages, and the plot just wasn't that compelling. Even the main characters were neither interesting or sympathetic.
Notes
I much prefer the author's Amelia Peabody series over this work.
