Description
The Cup of Ghosts by Paul Doherty is a gripping historical crime novel set in 14th-century England. Mathilde, a renowned physician and lady-in-waiting to Princess Isabella, recounts her turbulent life amidst the treacherous politics of the English court. As she reflects on her years of service, Mathilde finds herself drawn into a series of chilling murders linked to the bitter rivalry between Philip of France and Edward of England. These gruesome killings take place against the backdrop of the Coronation of Edward II, where a knight is tragically crushed to death. With her sharp intellect, Mathilde must navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries that lead to these heinous crimes. As she delves deeper into the mystery, Mathilde's own life becomes increasingly entangled with the sinister events unfolding around her. Through Mathilde's narrative, Doherty masterfully weaves a tale of intrigue, deception, and murder, set against the richly detailed backdrop of medieval England.
