Robb reinforces her place among the top writers of medieval historicals  - Publishers Weekly Starred Review York, 1377. Owen Archer is determined to find his friend, taverner Tom Merchet, who has been missing for five days. His wife, Bess, is frantic with worry. AN ENIGMATIC STRANGER. Who is the elusive Widow Cobb that Tom was seen visiting? And who is the man spotted following Tom before he vanished? As Owen hunts for clues, Bess decides to visit the widow’s lodgings and makes a terrifying discovery. RETRIBUTION IS BREWING . . . Owen digs up past sins and long-buried secrets that answer some of the questions surrounding Tom’s disappearance. But who is the sly and malevolent figure intent on destroying his friend, and why? A shocking confession will rock Owen to his core . . . An action-packed, evocative and masterfully plotted medieval mystery in the critically acclaimed Owen Archer series, perfect for fans of C.J. Sansom, Ellis Peters and Paul Doherty. Candace Robb loves spending time in the 14th century, so much so that she’s written 3 crime series set in the period, the Owen Archer and the Kate Clifford series set in York, and the Margaret Kerr series set in Scotland. She swears it’s just happenstance that her longest running series, the Owen Archer (15 books and writing) stars a sexy one-eyed spy. Severn House has re- released the first 10 in the series for the US and Canadian markets, while also publishing the ongoing books, the latest A Snake in the Barley. Publishers Weekly’s starred review of the previous book, A Fox in the Fold, said, “Excellent…This is a mystery with both high stakes and a layer of true feeling. Robb reinforces her place among the top writers of medieval historicals.” Candace lives in Seattle and considers York her second home. Visit her website and blog at www.candacerobbbooks.com.
A Kansas City native, JB Dickey vowed during his first PNW winter in Eugene for grad school that he’d never stay past the two-year program. That was 1981 and he’s rusted into this corner of the country. He’s done many jobs – bartender, taught painting, jazz dj, residential construction, hardware cashier – and he met Candace in 1993 while working at the Seattle Mystery Bookshop, which he did for all of the 27 years of its murderous history.

Big tourist attraction for sure and honestly it&#39;s the people I&#39;ve met and the fun I had that made this great!  and while the elevator up is standard, getting to the top you have people that go around and take free picture. you download them from their website. Ritchie, the photographer I met was incredibly sweet  and had the down home comfort to him. going to the rotating Glass, he gave me a few pictures with the background and it was amazing! they had $15 Mai Thai (I know I know lil pricy but you&#39;re in the air and in Seattle, why not?)Tips: get your ticket(s) for a good price (cough cough Groupon) and get them online and early. cheaper before 11 am

The best place to overlook the panoramic view of Seattle. This is actually a free community park on the top of the mountain, but the view is so good that it has become a must-see attraction in Seattle. From here you can see the clear blue water of the harbor and the Space Needle in the city center. In the distance is Mount Rainier, the city of Little Fuji. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, like a white hat, very beautiful.
