If you love historical fiction, murder mystery, plots and intrigue all wrapped up in a pacy, well-researched novel, the G.J. Williams might be the author for you

G.J. Williams is the author of the Tudor Rose Murder Mystery series – historical murder mysteries with a tiny supernatural twist. Her acclaimed books are set in Tudor England, beginning in the reign of Mary Tudor, also known as Bloody Mary, and then moving to the reign of Elizabeth 1st.  Each novel takes real events and people of Tudor England and the Royal Courts, and puts a plot and bodies in the middle.

Her detective is Doctor John Dee, a real Tudor figure, who was an astronomer, philosopher, medic, advisor, and spy for Elizabeth 1st.  His apprentice is a woman called Margaretta Morgan, born with the strange gift of hearing and feeling what is not said. As a woman in Tudor times, she can move among others, ignored, as she picks up evidence to feed back to her master. As they work together to solve the crime, both must face the mystery but also fight their own battles.

Both books have been recommended by the Historical Novel Society.
