The Tudor Rose Murders #4
The Assassin's Mark
It is March 1570 and Elizabeth’s court has just crushed the Northern rebellion that sought to throw her from the throne in favour of Mary Queen of Scots.
Relief is shattered when a body is found near the palace. The ritualistic killing, a cloven hoof-print, a calling card, and the terrifying message daubed on the wall, point to a long-forgotten pagan deity linked to the Templars.
John Dee and Margaretta must navigate a community under threat, a pattern of poisoning, a City in fear of a spectre, and the dark arts of rival queens as they race between England and the courts of France to uncover an assassin known only as Baphomet.

Im so disappointed.
She had this childish angry inner voice. She used body language much more than the magicky mind/ emotions language in the first three books.
Such a strong female character. I wanted her to go it alone, or at least become equal partners with dee. But no, she becomes a fawning pathetic girl grateful for any small compliment thrown her way.
The simpering, jealous, attraction to Sam is horrific. That doesnt feel like her character. Wanting to go home and just be a wife. Argh. This book is infuriating.
