Review # 1 was written on 2009-04-16 00:00:00 Angela Anello Unfortunately for Margaret Kerr of Perth, her books may always be compared to Robb's Owen Archer series, even if the comparison is somewhat unfair. Margaret Kerr is not Owen Archer-- she is young and inexperienced, often jumps to conclusions too quickly, and makes hasty decisions putting quite a few people at risk. Her husband has gone missing in Edinburgh; her cousin-in-law who went off to find him comes back dead (and mutilated), so she sets off for Edinburgh ostensibly to figure out why. But really, Margaret's story is the story of why Scotland is at the brink of civil war with England. Cheekily put, A Trust Betrayed is Braveheart but starring a woman and with historical accuracy. Now I am not much of a fan of the mystery genre, but I go out of my way to find and read Robb's books. They go so far beyond genre conventions to tell true-to-life stories about people living in real historical events and settings. A Trust Betrayed succeeds in bringing Medieval Scotland to life much as the Owen Archer series brought York and Wales to life.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-09-15 00:00:00 Marcus Goodrich A historical mystery in 13th century Scotland, Candace Robb's A Trust Betrayed, the first book in the Margaret Kerr series, is a hit. Candace's book is full of secrets and suspense, leaving readers wondering what will happen next. With enticing characters and an intriguing story of a women who goes in search of her missing husband, readers will enjoy this thrilling tale in the first book in the Margaret Kerr series. I would recommend this novel to readers that thoroughly enjoy a book filled with mystery and intrigue.
