The Serpent's Tale by Ariana Franklin

4.0

A wonderful second book in the series. I may have enjoyed this one a little more then the first.

Adelia finds her newly ordered life living on the fens disrupted once more by King Henry and a murder. This time she has to find out who has murdered the King's mistress and help to thwart yet another uprising against him by his wife, Queen Eleanor, and one of his children.

Although Rowley shows up, he isn't as main a character and I enjoyed the fact that Adelia is truly the main "sleuth" in this book. I'm looking forward to seeing how their relationship continues and how Ms. Franklin develops the very interesting character of King Henry in these fictional accounts.
