Another series of murders, some of them the 'locked room" type, baffle Roger and Benjamin through the book, until Benjamin figures them out in a surprise ending. But in the end, both Roger and Benjamin conceal secrets from their "employers."
I really enjoy how Roger keeps bashing King Henry VIII, who was a real jerk. And those who oppose the death penalty today, would freak out at the punishment given criminals in this period of history.
