Seattle writer Candace Robb will be well known to fans of two mystery series set in medieval England, one featuring Margaret Carr, the other Owen Archer—both series featuring exhaustive research on the period, suspenseful stories and compelling characters. The King's Mistress (Crown), written by Candace Robb's 'close associate' "Emma Campion," is a fictionalization of the life of Alice Salisbury Perrers, the much-maligned mistress of King Edward III (and mother of Edward's son John). "A dynamic fictionalization of the life of Alice Salisbury ... Campion stays true to the facts of Alice's life as the mistress of Edward III, the mother of his son John, and a successful businesswoman. This is a detailed rendering of Edward III's court, one that provides an empathetic but realistic portrait of a colorful and, if Campion is to be believe, misunderstood woman." - Publishers Weekly.
