Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Period detail, adroit characterizations, and lively dialogue add to the pleasure of this labyrinthine tale."—
Publishers Weekly"This mystery is so rich with place and time that they become characters in the story. Dame Frevisse is a stalwart, appealing sleuth and the cold, dark priory and the squalor of Medieval England are fascinating backdrops."—
New Orleans Times-Picayune"The writing is seamless...The atmosphere of the book is cold and blustery, danger afield. A well-steeped sense of history prevails...They make this novel more than a mystery, but a wonderful historical dark tapestry. We are transported back to the 14th century. One of the 10 best mystery novels of 1993."—
