Marston's Domesday series is a winner!This is the eighth book in the series, and the story is just as good as the previous ones. Ralph and Gervaise, along with Hubert and Simon find themselves in Devon. They happen to arrive just after a very vicious murder has been done. One of the city's leading barons is found dead with this throat cut and slashes all over his face. Gervaise and Ralph realize that the victim is one of the main people in a land dispute that they will have to settle, and they know that the murder is connected to the land dispute. Both of them find themselves in danger before they can solve this particular case. I love the period detail in these books, and the likeable and real characters that Marstons has created. This is a great historical mystery series. ( ) no reviews | add a review

Returning home one night, Nicholas Picard is attacked by a wildcat. But when his body is found, the claw marks are accompanied by a laceration that only a human could have made. His death complicates a difficult land dispute that Ralph Delchard and Gervase Bret are settling in Exeter. Two women think they are the obvious benefactor, and so determined is each to prove her claim that the commissioners begin to wonder if this land could have driven one of them to murder.
