"Absolutely stunning detective work leads to an amazing conclusion. A must read for those interested in historical NON-fiction and the lives of nobles during this era."
"In the Introduction, Ms. Weir says the purpose of this book is to answer the question "...was Mary, Queen of Scots the instigator of, or a party to, the murder of her husband?" She proceeds to take a fresh and comprehensive look at the evidence to draw her conclusion. The result is an entertaining and engaging narrative in which she interprets the evidence in the context of the times."
