La estructura es la misma, mezcla pequeños crímenes de la comunidad, con un gran crimen y misterio generalmente cometido por la aristocracia. Buena descripción histórica del Londres medioeval, Además de los personajes principales se mantienen los secundarios, aquellos que forman la congregación de la iglesia del Hermano y los poderosos entre ellos el Regente Juan de Gante y el joven rey. Unos nobles vanidosos llegan a Londres para la sesión del parlamento y empiezan los crímenes ( ) A Brother Athelstan historical mystery by Paul Doherty,originally written under the name of Paul Harding. A group of knights are being killed by various methods and Sir John Cranston the London Coroner who is assisted by Athelstan investigate. In fact the Brother does most of the investigation and indeed the solving of the case. (this is not over difficult I would have thought) There are also a large number of cats disappearing,to the dismay of the locals,and (a minor point) there is a devil abroad too. A rather pedestrian tale with an equally pedestrian solution. Saying this,it is quite a quick readable book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
In 1380, the King's parliament debates whether to grant money supplies to the Regent John of Gaunt for his war against the French. John orders Cranston to investigate the murders of the Shrewsbury representatives; the assassin must be caught before parliament suspects the Regent. Both Cranston and Brother Athelstan have their own problems: the coroner is puzzled by a thief stealing cats from Cheapside; Athelstan is concerned by claims that a devil is prowling his parish. Against the colourful pageantry of medieval court life and the dark slums of London, Cranston and Brother Athelstan pit their wits against a bloody murderer and the assassin in the House of Crows.
