The Course of All Treasons: An Elizabethan Spy Mystery by Suzanne M. Wolfe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
1586. Nicholas Holt, younger brother of Robert, Earl of Blackwell, and spy for Sir Francis Walsingham, is on the trail of a Spanish agent. He follows del Toro to Oxford. But in the process while travelling with an old neighbour they are ambushed. Meanwhile back in London, another of Walsingham's spys is killed. But events start to accelerate, and who's pawn is Holt.
I enjoyed this well-written historical mystery which can easily be read as a standalone story. The plots takes many turns to keep me guessing who is on the side of right, if there is one. The secondary characters are well-developed and so add to the story.
