About Satin Cinnabar
Product Description Perfect for fans of C J Sansom, S W Perry and Denise Domning “It paints views and pictures, it makes history spring alive, immersing the reader in the distant past.” The battle is over, but now he’s the son of a traitor…England 1485. The new Court of Henry VII is a dangerous time – Now the son of a traitor, Alex must hide his identity. But discovering the near decapitated body of his cousin could have even more catastrophic consequences. No one can be trusted, not even those closest to you. Danger it seems, is never far away…Without the brave soldier who led her to safety, Lady Katherine would have joined the fallen bodies. Returning home to find the enemy’s pennant flying overhead and an unfamiliar lord demanding her hand in marriage. Impulsive and hot headed, she must find a way back to her new friend, but where is he? And is she safer staying where she is? Guilty or not?After yet another murder, Alex’s discoveries could lead him to the killer or the gallows. While Lady Katherine has to make an impossible choice to retreat behind the safety of castle walls or risk more than her reputation to help solve these final riddles and catch the culprit.Medieval London comes alive with suspense in this historical mystery set in 15th century England. What readers are saying: “This is a book that bombards the reader with sounds, smells and tastes. It paints views and pictures, it makes history spring alive, immersing the reader in the distant past.”“I can but congratulate all those readers who have this delightful experience before them and look forward to reading more of Ms Gaskell Denvil's excellent writing.”“Satin Cinnabar has the edge on Game of Thrones, since it is based on fact - and that in itself provides the additional winning dynamic to all the richness, colour and movement of the times so extraordinarily captured.”"For the portrayal of detail of life in early Tudor London, Ms Denvil is among the very best of writers.""I love well written and well-plotted medieval novels where you feel you are living the story. Ms Gaskell Denvil's book satisfies on both counts.""I just couldn’t put it down, I love this author, she manages to combine history with a good mystery, has obviously done her research." About the Author Biography Barbara Gaskell Denvil was born in Gloucestershire, England but after living in half a dozen different European countries and cruising the Mediterranean for some years, has now temporarily moved to rural Australia. When younger she worked in many literary capacities and published numerous short stories and articles, but now writes full length novels. Her passion for late English medieval history and this forms the background for her historical fiction. She has published three hictorical novels - SATIN CINNABAR which is a crime adventure actually commencing on the Bosworth battlefield, SUMERFORD'S AUTUMN which is an adventure mystery with strong romantic overtones, set in the early years of the Tudor reign, and BLESSOP'S WIFE (published in Australia as THE KING'S SHADOW) which is a crime/romance set in England during 1482-3 during the turbulant years around the death of King Edward IV. Barbara is also an author of fantasy and will shortly be publishing two of these - descriptions to come soon. Both fantasy and historical fiction take us into new worlds and Barbara's books do exactly this - being multi-layered, and rich in atmosphere and depth of characterisation.
