The humor is very dry, similar in style to Terry Pratchett. The only reason it didn't get five stars is the ending is a little too cliff hangerish. ( ) This may not be my favorite time period for mystery fiction, but it is a humour that had me rolling in the aisles. Wry humour? Sly humour? The interaction between characters, and their observations on people, places, and occurrences are sometimes sneaky, and sometimes blatantly hilarious. The plot basic is represented by the publisher's blurb, so no need to rehash. Sit back and enjoy, but no drinking or eating while doing so unless prepared to spew when caught unawares by a sneaky bit. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

England 1066: At the monastery of De'Ath's Dingle, during a completely pointless theological debate, there is a mysterious death.Routine business for the average investigative medieval monk.Unfortunately this isn't a tale of average monks.Anyone who would put the idiot Brother Simon in charge of a murder investigation is either one chant short of a plainsong, or is up to something.When Brother Hermitage, innocent in every way, including bystanding, is lined up for execution, he begins to wonder if something might be going on. Perhaps his new companion Wat, weaver of pornographic tapestry, can figure out what it is. Before it's too late.If you are a lover of the historical detective genre, if you have a deep respect for the worlds created, don't read this book. It'll only upset you.5* "Hilarious"5* "Laugh out loud funny"5* "A Hit, a palpable hit."5* "Like Pratchett does 1066". Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
