I am really enjoying Marston's Domesday Series. This is the fifth in the series and it as good as all the previous ones that I have read. I highly recommend reading these books in order as the story of the main characters continues from book to book. In this one Gervais and Ralph with Ralph's wife Golde are in Canterbury. They are there to settle land disputes as a result of the Norman occupation, and are drawn into a particularly evil murder and murderer. They find themselves against an extraordinarily intelligent villain who seems to be able to get a number of others to follow his teachings. This is a wonderful series. The characters are wonderful, and the settings historically correct. I especially love the villains. They are portrayed so realistically by Marston's talented pen.
