El caso al que se enfrenta Hugo Corbett en esta ocasión parece ser el de un despiadado asesino en serie, al que se creía haber ajusticiado en la persona de un oscuro lord que parece ya olvidado. Es más, pocos son los que hacen caso a la vehemente defensa que hace su hijo, Maurice, de la inocencia de su difunto padre. A partir de ahí surgen las primeras dudas, y poco a poco Corbett va atando cabos y ajustando la hipótesis de que no todas las jóvenes violadas y descuartizadas has sido asesinadas con los mismos métodos, y probablemente por la misma persona. El enigma entonces es saber a cuántos asesinos debe enfrentarse Hugo Corbett.En esta ocasión Doherty aprovecha para mostrar los métodos forenses de la época y de cómo se sirve de ellos Corbett en su investigación. En esta novela Corbett se afirma como un protagonista complejo, rico en matices y con una mente poderosa, pero sin dejar de ser verosímil. This is the eleventh book in Doherty's series featuring the medieval sleuth Hugh Corbett. Whilst I enjoyed this mystery set in the small town of Melford, it lacked the political intrigue of the court that I've enjoyed in previous novels. It also included too much reflection on the details of the murders by Hugh Corbett that has the potential to become tedious in parts. As I draw nearer to the end of this series though, I can't imagine not reading through to the end. There are 5 more in the series to go, so look out for the next installment! I do hope it's better than this one. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
