There is much excitement at Court as the famous painter Levina Teerlinc arrives to paint the Queen's portrait. The Maids of Honor are recruited to help entertain the Queen during the sittings, and to pose for the painter while the Queen is busy. They love being in the studio but have to beware as deadly poisons are used in some of the paints! One of Lady Grace's fellow Maids of Honor, Carmina, begins to act rather strangely—she seems confused and always tired. Her family has recently been involved in a feud with another noble family after her father was killed in a jousting tournament—is it possible that Carmina is being poisoned? Could the painter or her assistants be involved? Can Grace solve the mystery and discover the truth behind the strange happenings at Court?

      The fifth book in The Lady Grace Mysteries, purportedly written by Grace Cavendish, maid of honor to Queen Elizabeth I, begins with the painting of portraits of Her Majesty, the arrival of a troupe of players at Nonsuch Palace, and the sudden illness of another maid of honor. Endnotes include a glossary of Elizabethan terms and a commentary discussing feuds. Readers will absorb Elizabethan social history and vocabulary as they try to unravel the mystery and follow the adventures of the appealing Lady Grace.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)

      When a famous portraitist comes to Nonsuch Palace to paint Queen Elizabeth, paint containing arsenic goes missing and a maid of honor falls ill. Lady Grace's sleuthing leads her to the perpetrator of the poisoning as well as to the crime's motive. This light, engaging mystery is full of period detail. Endnotes illuminate "the fact behind the fiction." Glos.
