Title: A worthwhile sequel
Review: I am very impressed by all of Ms. Penmans' books that I have read. The sheer amount of historical research that goes into them is mind boggling. Dragon's Lair is the third installment in her mystery series. I think my favorite is still The Queen's Man; however, Dragon's Lair is a worthy contender.Justin de Quincy is yet again sent off on a mission on behalf of the legendary Eleanor of Aquitaine who is the ruling monarch of the English, Aquitaine and Normandy empires while her son Richard the Lionheart is in an Austrian dungeon due to being captured on his way home from the Crusades.Part of the ransom has gone missing in the deep forests of Wales. Eleanor sends Justin to investigate and return the ransome if at all possible.In typical Penman mystery fashion there are a number of twists and turns so it's not easy to guess what is on the next page.I highly recommend it for people who like mysteries or books based upon the early ages of the English empire.
