Summary

The final instalment in the timeshift conspiracy series that you don’t want to miss! Perfect for fans of Dan Brown, Philippa Gregory, Kate Mosse and Tom Harper.

Get ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about British royal history....

Derbyshire, England, 1603.

Elizabeth I is dead, and the Tudor reign is over. As the men in power decide to pass the throne to the Scottish King James, one woman debates changing the course of history.

Two Tudor heirs have been covered up for decades, and with a foreign king threatening the stability of England it could be time to bring the truth to the fore.

But there are reasons the Tudor children were put into hiding, and exposing them would put not only their lives in danger, but the lives of many others as well....

Marquess House, Pembrokeshire, 2019.

Dr Perdita Rivers and her sister, Piper, have returned to their ancestral home. But the ancient walls still contain riddles which the twins need to solve.

Perdita and Piper have already discovered earth-shattering secrets which will change the course of English history forever. But they are missing one vital piece of the puzzle.

Two Tudor rings have led them to cover-ups at the Tudor court, but now they must track down a missing silver locket to slot the final parts of the mystery together.

And just when it seems they could be ready to expose the centuries-old conspiracy, old enemies resurface to put their very lives at risk....

The Arbella Stuart Conspiracy is the final book in the Marquess House trilogy, a dual timeline conspiracy thriller with an ingenious twist on a well-known period of Tudor and Stuart history.

The Marquess House Trilogy series:

Book One: The Catherine Howard Conspiracy

Captivating, intriguing, enjoyable throughout.

Alexandra Walsh knows how to spin a good yarn; intrigue and drama all the way. Each part of the trilogy is as equally strong as the other two. Obviously, she's created a great historical story, but I was equally captivated by the modern day thriller that ran parallel to the historical one.
Special mention has to go to a most brilliant narrator on the Audible version, Emma Gregory is almost single-handedly making my Kindle redundant.

I’ve really enjoyed this trilogy

These stories have been enjoyable to listen to - I think if I’d read them I may have got lost in some of the details about historic names and characters and family connections - which at times I felt a bit vague about - even listening at .85 speed but it became clearer in the next part of the story - so be patient!
It’s been a fantastic way to enjoy a long story - with twists and turns. - in a dreek November while i took damp walks and got on with what would otherwise have been neglected tidying up chores!
Big thanks to the author and the narrator.

I love theses types of books & this was a first

loved it it took a while to get through them BUT every night walking this took me away from whats been happening in 2020 & we all needed a break from our reality, But knowing these were real people makes it seem a possibility that history is whitewashed all the time.. great read

Great Immersive Story

I rarely leave reviews on books unless they really capture me, but this book pulled me right in, so much so, I had to keep reminding myself it was fiction and not what actually happened. In fact every time I reminded myself, I felt a pang of disappointment that this actually wasn’t the real historical facts. Highly recommend this series.
