Here is what people are saying about the The Queen's Man : A Medieval Mystery (Medieval Mysteries (Paperback))
5 Star Rating  "Fascinating New Character"2009-03-24
- Reviewed By User: A373H4TVR0IC0Q
Sharon Kay Penman, one of my favorite authors, has created a new character for this historical fiction mystery novel. Quite by accident, Justin de Quincy finds himself working for The Queen (Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine, Queen of England, one time Queen of France). In today's lingo, we'd call him an undercover cop. It's his job to ferret out the truth of a sticky situation. At the same time, other story lines weave themselves into this tangled web of intrigue. So well written, the novel presents itself as a "whole" - not as several separate stories. A real page turner. Don't miss it!
 
3 Star Rating  "I never thought the day would come..."2008-11-07
- Reviewed By emilynm11
I never thought the day would come when I would give a SKP book less than 5 stars... but it has happened, and I hate to do it. The book wasn't bad, and I admit, I don't usually read mysteries, but I'm disappointed.

Unlike some of the other reviews, I felt that the character development was alright, the writing was fine, and the historical descriptions very good; the plot just wasn't terribly interesting. I kept having to remind myself what exactly the mystery was and I never really understood why the contents of the letters were such a huge secret. Regardless, I was prepared to give this book 4 stars. Then the mystery was solved and I was really annoyed. So many things that I thought were clues were actually nothing. It was like she built up all of these little clues and suspects in the first 1/2 of the book, forgot about all of that and spent the 2nd 1/2 trying to catch the guy, and then when they solved the mystery none of the rest of the book mattered. Ugh.

I'm still going to read the next books though, so it obviously wasn't that bad.

My first read by this author. Plan to buy more of her books. An enjoyable read!
 
5 Star Rating  "An addicting surprise"2008-04-26
- Reviewed By msomco
I picked up this book not knowing what to expect. I'm fascinated with medieval history. But what I got from The Queen's Man was more: A medieval mystery!
I wasn't sure at first if it was something I'd enjoy, but almost immediately I was sucked in. It's a fabulous read, easy to understand and very exciting. I love the twists and turns and how wonderfully Penman showed me a world outside of the Royal Court- a common man's world.
Now I can't wait to read the other book's in the Justin de Quincy series!

"The Queen's Man" by Sharon Kay Penman, © 1996


This quite a good story of a fellow, Justin, who grows up an orphan in the home of a bishop. He searched for his mother and found out more then he bargained for: the bishop is his father. Justin revolts from a man who disrespected his mother's memory for of any reason, and becomes a vagabond. His fortune is that he has a horse and education and training in swordsmanship, he just needs to find a way to make ends meet until his fate in the world, and money, becomes a bit more constant.
Justin chances upon a robbery. He saves the target, not from death, but enough to get a mission to deliver a letter to Queen Eleanor. She puts the charge on him to find who and why the guy was attacked. It does end well for Justin. He becomes a member of the Queen's guard, with a steady income.
The story goes very well and is pretty accurate, as far as I could see. It does have some moments of modern morality to remind you that nothing is perfect. Really good story with some sexual exploits (discreet) interspersed.
 
4 Star Rating  "An entertaining medieval mystery"2007-10-08
- Reviewed By User: A24Q9TS2YMHNJO
Having read and watched several of the Brother Cadfael mysteries, I picked up The Queen's Man. I read through it in a couple of days, intrigued by the story and enjoying Sharon Kay Penman's clear, flowing writing style. She includes plenty of historical background without turning it into a history lesson; the characters are engaging and the mystery kept me guessing right up to the end. I would most definitely pick up her other books, and encourage you to give The Queen's Man a try!
