This is another delightful mystery from the life of the fictional characters, Hero and Sebastion St. Cyr. The question is who killed Hero's good friend, Gabrielle Tennyson, whose body is found drifting in a boat with a knife wound in her chest. At the time she disappeared she was accompanied by two small children who are missing. Are they dead too?

Married only a few days, the honeymoon must be postponed so Sebastion can investigate Gabrielle's death and search for the missing boys. This is important because Gabrielle and Hero shared so many interests through their friendship. There are numerous suspects who resent the independence shown my Miss Tennyson. Women just didn't question males, exert such independence or do all the research she did on her own. She was an expert on the Arthurian era. But none of these reasons are behind her death.

It is difficult to sort through the suspects and the reasons for Gabrielle's murder. And, no matter how many people search or where they look there is no trace of the missing boys. I enjoyed the surprising climax which led to the murderer and solved the mystery of the missing boys. Good, good read.
