4-6Lady Grace Mysteries series.
Although highly improbable in plot and characters, these two books introduce the feisty and clever Lady Grace, "maid of honour" to Queen Elizabeth I. She not only uncovers a murder at court, she goes on to rescue a kidnapped damsel in distress on the high seas. The historical background is colorful and enlivening, Grace is delightfully rebellious and spunky, and the diary format is appealing. Review covers these Lady Grace Mysteries titles: Assassin and Betrayal.
