exile review

I love to read the Lady Grace mysteries and the book Exile because, I look foward to the mysterious parts of the book. I've read six Lady Grace mysteries so far, and they keep me coming back for more! I like following Lady Grace through the beginning, climax and resolution of each book in the mysteries she solves. I like how Lady Grace discusses her own feelings about the events happening around her in each book. In conclusion I enjoy reading these mysteries and I can't wait to finish reading about what happens to Lady Grace next! As a middle school student I would recommend this book and this series to other middle school students because this series is entertaining and very interesting to me.

Spooky and Exciting Suspense!

Lady Grace Cavendish is a maid of honour to Queen Elizabeth I. She is also Lady Pursuivant. Her friends are Ellie and Masou. Banoo Yasmine arrives from Shakarand with the Heart of Kings, which gets stolen. Then, Ellie is accused of the crime when they find the jewel in the laundry basket. But Grace knows that somebody else must have put it in there. So she is on the hunt for the real theif..... but i won't tell you whether she find the theif or not. Buy the book and see for yourself.

Where's Feud?

Yasmine, who is in exile (hence the title of the book). All of the court are intrigued by the new arrival, as well as her pet panther. Grace, most of all, is attracted to the panther and manages to forge a friendship with the new arrival over her pet. When Yasmine's reknowned ruby disappears, Grace immediately begins investigating to clear her friend Ellie's name. More fun and intrigue in the Court of Queen Elizabeth!

Another great mystery featuring Lady Grace.

This is the fifth book in the Lady Grace Mysteries series, about Lady Grace Cavendish, a thirteen-year-old Maid of Honour at the court of Queen Elizabeth I. It's January 1570, and a new visitor is arriving at court. Banoo Yasmine is a young noblewoman from the Middle Eastern country of Sharkand. When the king of Sharakand was overthrown, Banoo Yasmine's family was murdered because they had supported him, and only she escape. In England, she hopes to regain her fortune so she can return to Sharakand and restore the rightful ruler, and has decided to ask the Queen for help. However, soon after Banoo Yasmine arrives, the Heart of Kings, the famed ruby of Sharakand, disappears. Grace's friend Ellie, a young laundrymaid at the palace, is blamed for the theft when the ruby is found in her laundry basket. Grace knows Ellie would never steal and is determined to find the real thief before her friend is punished for something she did not do. I loved the first four Lady Grace mysteries and am pleased to say I loved this one as well. As always, Grace is a great character who brings to life the world of Elizabethan England, and the historical details are excellent. I can't wait to read the upcoming books in this series. I would recommend this series to readers who love historical mysteries or who have a special interest in the Elizabethan era.
