Deception (Lady Grace Mysteries) Deception (Lady Grace Mysteries) by Jan Burchett

The book Deception is about one of the maids of honor to Queen Elizabeth herself, Grace Cavendish. But Grace is also the queen's Lady Pursuivant. As the queen is fretting over the new currency that must be made for her country she sends Grace and all the other maids to the annual Frost Fair. But the maids, while there, soon find out something is amiss. A corpse had been found in a boat along the river Thames. That's not the only conspicuous problem. Resting on the dead body's eyes are two coins. But these coins aren't just any coins; these are the very coins that the queen had been fretting over, the coins that hadn't yet been released to the public. From here the problems just get worse. Grace soon realizes that these certain coins found on the head of the corpse are counterfeit. As a Lady Pursuivant Grace is responsible for solving the mystery and the queen has only given her five days. My favorite thing about this book is that it is not only intense it is also funny. I would definitely recommend it.
