In 1176, King Henry II sends his daughter Joanna to Palermo to marry his cousin, the king of Sicily. Henry chooses Adelia Aguilar, his Mistress of the Art of Death, to travel with the princess and safeguard her health. But when people in the wedding procession are murdered, Adelia and Rowley must discover the killer's identity . . . and whether he is stalking the princess or Adelia herself.
I have waited a whole year for this one, I love Franklin's writing, the characters are so enjoyable. We revisit some character who have not been seen in a while making this one extra special. So hope there will be more Mistress books. 4.5 out of 5
