First Sentence
On a May day that hinted at summer, such a day on which the people of York rejoiced in opening their doors to the warm, fresh air and found excuses to walk along the river in the sunshine, or to walk out onto the Strays to check on their grazing animals, Lucie Wilton and her adopted son, Jasper, were shut up in the apothecary, staring down at the mound of dried herbs a customer had just returned.

Robb Continues a Thrilling Series!,
By
This review is from: A Spy For The Redeemer (Paperback)
For Candace Robb's legion of Owen Archer fans, "A Spy for the Redeemer" will hold no surprises: this seventh episode of her series featuring Owen, the former soldier and nowone-eyed spy for Archbishop Robert Thoresby of York, finds himself embroiled in another of his 14th century intrigues. And, as with the other six, this one is absorbing and full of interest-holding elements. Once again, Owen is sent on an errand for his Archbishop, this time to Owen's home country of Wales, where treason, murder, and more mayhem abound, and he is caught up And back in York, Owen's wife Lucy, a local and successful apothecary, finds her own life even more complicated. Aside from missing her husband and trying to run her own Yet, with the usual Robb finesse, both Lucy and Owen are able to overcome their difficulties, as one would imagine. Overcoming their problems is never in doubt, of course,

This review is from: A Spy For The Redeemer (Paperback)
Another good read by Candice Robb. Anyone who is a fan of the historical "who-dun-it" will thoroughly enjoy this book. The scene is skillfully painted and the characters so life-like that the reader is transported through time without feeling out of place. It is hard to put the book down as the story sweeps the reader onwards towards the final solution to this Owen Archer mystery.

Superb in all aspects.,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Spy For The Redeemer (Paperback)
In this latest Owen Archer mystery, all of the principle characters, family and friends of Owen Archer are included. The twist is the in the way Candace Robb incorporates them into solving two seemingly unconnected mysteries. Owen has his to solve to return home, while Lucie Wilton has her hands full with trouble at Freythorpe Hadden and her Aunt Phillipa. Although I don't particularly care for romance in historical novels, the smidgen in Robb's novels seem to enhance the storyline. After the somewhat disappointing "A Gift of Sanctuary," Ms. Robb is back to the writing that drew so many to her Owen Archer series.
