In this novel by bestselling author Feather, we meeet Rosamund Walsingham, a cousin of Queen Elizabeth's spymaster Francis, who accompanies her brother Thomas to court to work for (and hopefully be married off by) their infamous cousin using her gift for drawing. Once there, she meets and falls in love with another man in the pay of Sir Francis, Will Creighton who is also in love with her. Unfortunately for them, when they give into their passion, it is discovered, and Rosamund is shipped off by the queen and Sir Francis to act as a lady in waiting to the imprisoned Mary, Queen of Scots and report all that goes on. She soon finds herself in the middle the the Babington plot and soon finds just how deep her cousin's web of players runs and how many lives depend on her doing her part well. with a dose of candid, risque scenes, intrigue, and portrayals of court life, All the Queen's Players is a good addition to any rennies library. I give it 4 out of 5 stars :-)
