Divertida novelita policial del Londres previo a la guerra de las Rosas. El pasado vuelve a cobrar deudas impagas. Y en el fondo Juan de Gante como regente (si bien no sale como personaje) los lolardos y John Wycliff. Pretende ser algo más que una novela policial ( ) It's amazing how many books you can read in 8 hours on a train... A detective double act set in the early middle ages. John Cranston is the City of London's coroner, while Brother Athelstan is a priest with a troubled mind who just wants to do what's best. They are instructed to investigate the murder of the keeper of the Tower of London, and it all gets pretty grisly from there. Sir John is an unlikely man to hold office, always tending to be slightly drunk, but he's a good man at heart and between them they find a solution. Not until there have been a few more bodies piled up around the place though. Light relief, but probably doesn't stand up to rigorous scrutiny. I generally list books under the pseudonym used in writing, but Mr. Doherty switched to his real name after the second book and I wanted to keep the series together. A fairly straightforward historical mystery. I'll read a couple more but I hope that they can step up and take the place of Ellis Peters' stories. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: December, 1377. A great frost has London in its icy grip; even the Thames is frozen bank to bank. The Constable of the Tower of London, Sir Ralph Witton, is found murdered in a cold, bleak chamber in the North Bastion. The door is still locked from the inside and guarded by trusted retainers. So how did the assassins slip across a frozen moat to climb the sheer wall to commit such a dreadful crime? Appointed to investigate, Brother Athelstan and Sir John Cranston soon discover that Sir Ralph's murder is only the first in a series of macabre killings which have their roots in a terrible act of betrayal committed many years previously. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
