Book Description

Join Gareth & Gwen as they investigate mysteries, murder, and mayhem in medieval Wales! This boxed set contains Books 1-7 of the Gareth & Gwen Medieval Mysteries. The Good Knight: Intrigue and rivalry among princes casts a shadow on the court of the king of north Wales. When a royal groom is murdered on the way to his wedding, the bride's brother tasks his two best detectives with bringing the killer to justice. The Uninvited Guest: It is the winter of 1143 and a cold-blooded killer lurks among King Owain's wedding guests. Putting their own marriage plans on hold, Gareth and Gwen race to separate truth from lies, friends from foes, and unravel the mystery before King Owain—and his new bride—fall victim to their uninvited guest. The Fourth Horseman: May 1144. Gareth and Gwen travel across the border into England on a diplomatic mission with Prince Hywel of Wales. When a murder case drops at their feet within moments of their arrival, they race to expose a plot that threatens not only their lives, but the life of the future King of England himself. The Fallen Princess: Hallowmas 1144. The murdered body of Prince Hywel's long lost cousin, a woman thought to have run away with a Dane five years earlier, turns up on a beach. The trail has long since gone cold until the investigation threatens to expose dangerous truths that everyone from king to killer would prefer to keep buried. The Unlikely Spy: August 1146. Prince Hywel has invited all the bards and lords of Wales to a music festival. But with the highborn come the low: thieves, spies, and other hangers-on. When a murderer strikes as the festival starts, Gareth and Gwen are charged with discovering his identity—before the death of a peasant shakes the throne of a king. The Lost Brother: November 1146. When an investigation murder uncovers treason at the highest levels of King Owain's court, Gareth and Gwen must come to terms with unprecedented treachery—and a villain whose crimes can never be forgiven. The Renegade Merchant: March 1147. Gareth and Gwen travel to Shrewsbury in an attempt to find answers about Rhun's death, about the whereabouts and plans of Prince Cadwaladr, and about Gwen's family ties to England. But as always seems to be the case with Gwynedd's foremost investigators—when they go looking for answers, trouble is never far behind.
