Cruel as the Grave
Cruel as the Grave | Sharon Kay Penman
2 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
April 1193. England's King Richard Lionheart languishes in a German prison, and treason scents the air. Richard's younger brother, John, seizes Windsor Castle, and Dowager Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine summons her trusted personal "queen's man," Justin de Quincy, to do the impossible - mediate a truce with her rebel son. Amid such fateful events, the murder of a Welsh peddler's daughter seems small. But the cruel demise of the beautiful Melangell so troubles Justin that not even a threatened French invasion can keep him from investigating her death. Yet can he bring Melangell"s craven killer to justice?

A present to myself because everything is really rubbish right now, except for books! Books save lives!!! 😃 #PenmanForever

Crazeedi Don't think I've read this one. Is it part of a series? Or a standalone 4y
Caroline2 @Crazeedi It‘s part two of the Justin de Quincy trilogy. 👍 4y
Deblovestoread There are 4 in the de Quincy series so you have one more to look forward to. Lovely that you have a signed copy. 4y

I may be on a book diet myself (after acquiring 40 books from Wales + Bouchercon, I decided to buy no more books for myself until after Christmas), but I will totally enable my mum's book purchases if they benefit me 😁 Also LOL at the autocorrected version of Nigel Tranter 😂

LeahBergen I just yelled, “Get the Penmans!!” 😂😂 7y
LeahBergen And clearly I read too much historical fiction - my eyes “auto corrected” it back to Nigel Tranter and I didn‘t even notice the error! 7y
DGRachel Signed hardcover Penmans? I‘m beyond jealous!😱😍 7y
rabbitprincess @LeahBergen 😂😂 I yelled something to that effect when she texted me! I autocorrected too, and knew instantly that I already owned it! @DGRachel I know! What a score! 7y
