'Wonderfully atmospheric, fast-paced and intelligent' GUARDIAN
Twelfth-century anatomist Adelia Aguilar must once again examine
the dead as gruesome events are beginning to unfold... Henry II's
favourite mistress, Rosamund Clifford, has been poisoned - and,
rumour says, by his jealous wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine. If Henry
believes the stories, England will be torn apart as King battles
Queen. In a race against time to prove Eleanor's innocence, and
with a dangerous assassin on the loose, Adelia has never faced
greater danger. The armies that might cause civil war lie behind
her. The icy winds of a dreadful winter blow around her. And ahead
she must brave the thorns of the impenetrable labyrinth that
surrounds Fair Rosamund's tower, and decipher the mystery of the
dead woman who lies frozen within. 'Highly entertaining . . .
Franklin is an adept storyteller who disseminates her research into
the period with clarity and lightness of touch' THE TIMES ________
Readers are gripped by The Death Maze: 'The pace of the narrative
kept the candle burning in a page turning frenzy!' ***** 'A
brilliant, feisty female lead, highlighting the perils for women in
medieval times.' ***** 'The author conjures up the lives and
customs of the middle ages . . . an utter joy to read.' *****
