Description

After the discovery of three savagely murdered bodies in his parish, Brother Athelstan finds himself involved in the hunt for a dangerous killer. It is clear that two of the victims, a whore and a preacher, surprised an assassin who was then forced to kill them. But who the third victim is, and why someone has gone to so much trouble to kill him, remains a mystery. And can it really have any connection with Sir John Cranston's attempt to save a women unjustly accused of stabbing a clerk?

Otra buena novela como siempre un problema en la parroquia y dos crimenes. con esa estructura compara el pueblo bajo y las miserias de los ricos. Ingenioso divertido. Aparece muerto en la parroquia un mensajero del rey, y una posadera de londres es acusada de matar a una de sus empleadas y de esconder un tesoro
Un livre qui se lit bien. Fait penser aux Elis Peters (même sujet, même époque)
