A Murderous Procession Reviews

"At times, Franklin, who's obviously done a lot of research into the period, in particular into the House of Plantagenet, over-explains or lapses into pedantic description. Still, both fans of historical fiction and mystery readers will be rewarded." - Publishers Weekly

"Sprinkled with fascinating historical facts about the medieval period, Franklin's plots always intrigue. For fans of Sharon Kaye Penman and medieval mysteries, this is essential reading." - Library Journal

"... this book isn’t the best place to start for readers new to the series, but it will be enjoyed by series fans." - Booklist

I love this book thank goodness I had the book loaded on my Kindle which makes it easier to read and light weight to hold for several hours at a time!

I had a hard time putting it down and enjoyed every page. Now, I am looking forward to their next adventure together.
