Book Review of The Fyre Mirror

The Fyre Mirror
reviewed on + 32 more book reviews


An interesting murder mystery set in Elizabethan England with Elizabeth I herself in a starring role. A serial killer uses fire as a weapon, or more accurately a mirror as a fire-starting weapon.
The young queen plans to pose for a portrait in the countryside of Surrey, but one of her artists is burned to death -- which really ticks her off big time.
Is there any truth to the "running boy" legend, or is it just a fairy tale that the locals like to amuse the visitors with?
Lizzie cannot solve this without the help of the canny Dr Dee and her Plot Council. But you can help!
