To the fascinating cast at Sir Robert's lands where Thomas is the falconer and intelligencer (or private detective) is added a cast of Russians, an Ambassador and his serfs. They are there to receive a fantastic jeweled chain to take back to Russia as a gift to Moussorsgi's Boris Gudenov as an encouragement to increase trade between the two countries. Thefts and murders accumulate as Thomas tries to figure it all out. The last chapters were hair-raising with questions to be found.

I enjoyed all the books in this series,but didn't like the ending of the last one. I won't write a spoiler but couldn't it have been done differently?

5.0 out of 5 stars A silent killer, Russian dignitaries and a complicated plot
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2024

Sir Robert is charged with entertaining a Russian envoy and his staff, it becomes a strain on everyone in the Petbury household as few of them speak English and their manners leave a lot to be desired. A very special gold and jeweled chain is to be presented as a gift to their leader but it's stolen and the weight falls upon Thomas to try to puzzle out where and why it was taken. A series of murders occur,each person has been tortured with sword cuts to make them talk, the work of an assassin who takes just a little too much pleasure in it. As the clues to the where and why become clear, a trap is set to capture him that leads to a cross country chase and a deadly fight from which there can be only one winner.

This one kept me reading with barely a pause. All these books have been good but this one was very exciting and engaging. It moved very quickly with interesting twists and turns. And the ending!

I really enjoyed it after the character development. The books are interesting and the problems are unusual. The hero is unlikely and intuitive.

This, as with all of the falconer stories, is well told, filled with excitement and valor. Only issue I had was the frequent misses by those who should be proofreading. Noticed this in the last two of these tales I've read.

I’ve read all the books in the Thomas the Falconer series and as usual John Pilkington writes a wonderful mystery with Thomas astute and perceptive as always. Wonderful characterisation, a mystery that keeps you guessing and told by a first-class storyteller.
