Interesting beginning to a medieval mystery series, introducing Edwin Weaver and the lord's estate where he serves as bailiff. ( ) I don't much believe in doing a plot review of books. I stumbled across this book by chance. I enjoy mediaeval history so I bought the book. It is truly one of the best of my finds during the past year or so. At the end I shed a tear or two and passed this book on to someone I hope will enjoy it at least one-half as much as I did. This is the first novel in a trilogy of Medieval murder mysteries set during the civil war around the time of the death of King John, from which I unwittingly read the second instalment recently. I enjoyed this first novel even more and Edwin is a likeable and sensitive central character, the son of the a village bailiff trying to make sense of his role in the world of noble intrigue into which he is thrust. The other characters are also well drawn and there are a lot of poignant observations about the harshness and inequality of life that strike Edwin as he tries to solve a murder whose origins stretch back 14 years to John's struggle work his nephew Arthur to hold on to the English throne. Good stuff. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The year is 1217, and England has been invaded. Much of the country is in the iron grip of Louis of France and his collaborators, and civil war rages as the forces of the boy king try to fight off the French. Most of this means nothing to Edwin Weaver, son of the bailiff at Conisbrough Castle in Yorkshire, until he is suddenly thrust into the noble world of politics and treachery: he is ordered by his lord the earl to solve a murder which might have repercussions, not just for him but for the future of the realm. Edwin is terrified but he must obey; he takes on the challenge and learns more until he uncovers a horrific secret that has been dead and buried for 15 years that might kill them all{u2014}and realizes there are some questions to which he might not wish to know the answers.
