The Cardinal's Angels (Red Ned Tudor series Book 1) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

It’s the year 1529 in Merry England, though for some like Red Ned Bedwell apprentice lawyer and aspiring rogue, the situation is not so happy. After a tavern brawl he’s suspected of slaying a servant of Cardinal Wolsey, the Lord Chancellor, and after His Sovereign Majesty Henry VIII, the most powerful man in England. To avoid a charge of treason Ned has to search out the real culprits and uncover their motives for murder. That’s if he can remember the affray. His only assistance, if it can be called that, are some very reluctant allies—Meg Black, an unfriendly and secretive apprentice apothecary, her more amiable brother Rob, and their scowling retainer, the aptly named Gruesome Roger. As Ned and his small company scurry through the darker paths of Tudor London he finds that other more ruthless hunters are also on the search for secrets.What could be worth so much to the noble factions of the Royal Court? Is it the mystery of the Cardinal’s Angels, or is it something entirely more dangerous?Welcome to Henry VIII’s Merrie England where politics, plots and murder are the currency of the realm.
