This is a little short story about Sister Frevisse. I didn't realize that when I put in on my Kindle, but it's been so long since we've had a Sister Frevisse story, that I'm glad I took it. I now see there are two new books in the series and I will be reading these. I love Sister Frevisse. She's a 15 century nun at the nunnery of St. Frideswide's but not be deceived. Her cloistered life does not mean that she doesn't know the way of the world. She is also not easily fooled. In this little story of a wife who apparently cursed her brutish husband and had him die, Sister Frevisse and her friend Sister Claire try to prove that it was just a coincidence, but others do come to the widow's aid. I'm glad that Ms. Frazer hasn't given up on Sister Frevisse. This is a wonderful historical mystery series with lots of period detail and wonderful characters. ( )
