Query: Judith Merkle Riley

This book was another of the Margaret of Ashbury novels. Ms. Riley is definitely one of my favorite historical novelists. When I first learned that she was a professor of political science, I must admit I thought "uh oh, this will be boring"! Boy, was I mistaken! I absolutely fell in love within the first page of this wonderfully written novel. Ms. Riley's characters come so alive you feel as though you know them, and her wit is amazingly entertaining. I have read all the Margaret Ashbury novels, and all the rest of Ms. Riley's published books. I heartily recommend any book written by this woman!
