One of the best medieval murder mysteries I've ever read! - By: , 26 Jul 1997
I've read many medieval murder mysteries, & I found this onein particular & all the Catherine LeVendeur novels especially compelling. The detail is so rich that you begin almost to smell the smells & hear the sounds of the middle ages. The protagonists are not just modern-day people plunked into a medieval setting--they think like medievals. And they transport the reader as effectively as any characters can to a very different time & place. Not only is this a must read, it's a must read again & again. Sharan Newman should quit her day job & write full time. Her research is meticulous & pays offin an amazing array of rich & compelling detail. Read this book!
