Marston's Domesday books are set in England during the time of William I. I love the historical information that comes out with each book, but I also love the mysteries. These are complex and not easy to figure out. This book is set in and around the community of Woodstock. Gervaise and Ralph are sent to settle land disputes and find themselves in the middle of murder and mayhem. The book includes horse races, choirs and marital infidelity. It makes for an action-packed story, that kept me turning pages. This is a wonderful series for historical mystery buffs. ( )
