title: The Queene's Christmas (Elizabeth I Mysteries, Book 6)
author:  Karen Harper 
description: Harper takes readers back to sixteenth-century England with her sixth mystery featuring Elizabeth I. It is the Christmas season of 1564, and Elizabeth wants her subjects to enjoy the holidays while she attempts to outwit her devious Catholic cousin, Mary Queen of Scots, who is plotting to steal the throne of England. Elizabeth has planned an elaborate holiday feast, but the preparations go awry when Master Hodge Thatcher, Dresser of the Queene's Privy Kitchen, is found hanging in his workroom adorned with the peacock feathers meant for decorating the roasted bird. Elizabeth must solve the crime before she becomes another victim. The wonderful historical detail mixed with intrigue and authentic Elizabethan recipes enliven this story, which is a real treat for those who enjoy historical mysteries. Book-club hosts will appreciate the discussion ideas included at the end of the book. <i>Barbara Bibel</i><br /><i>Copyright  American Library Association. All rights reserved</i>
