Death Comes as Epiphany
Death Comes as Epiphany | Sharan Newman
5 posts | 2 read | 9 to read
Catherine LeVendeur is a young scholar come to conquer her sin of pride at the Convent of the Paraclete, famous for learning, prayer, and its abbess, the fabled Heloise. When a manuscript the convent produced for the great Abbe Suger disappears, rumors surface saying the book contains sacrilegious passages and will be used to condemn Heloise's famous lover, Peter Abelard.To save her Order, and protect all she holds dear, Catherine must find the manuscript and discover who altered the text. She will risk disgrace, the wrath of her family and the Church, and confront an evil older than Time itself--and, if she isn't careful, lose her immortal soul.With Death Comes As Epiphany, the first in the Catherine LeVendeur mystery series, medievalist Sharan Newman has woven dark mystery and sparkling romance into a fascinating and richly detailed tapestry of everyday life in twelfth-century France, and one of the most moving love stories of all time: Abelard and Heloise.

Andrew65 Don‘t know these. 4y
Mollyanna @Andrew65 There‘s only 10 of them and the tend to be around 300 pages, so quick reads. I warn you that they may send you down the google rabbit hole (at least I did checking on H & A and other medieval things). 4y
rubyslippersreads I‘ve read a few of these and loved them. 4y
Mollyanna @rubyslippersreads I‘ve been slowly reading them, savoring them. 4y

#riotgrams Day 2 Belated: Current read. (And you can see my other current read in the corner of the photo). Many thanks to my #litsygoespostalog book friend @DiruVamp for the bookmark; I smile every time I see it. 😘 Medieval mysteries / fantasy / historical fiction are definitely my jam!

DiruVamp Glad you are enjoying it I had fun making them! 7y
callunakeep I LOVE medieval mysteries too!! Do read Paul Doherty‘s Hugh Corbett or Brother Athelstan books? 7y
Grrlbrarian I read the first Hugh Corbett I think, @callunakeep, but it was a while ago. I need to get back to him! Love CJ Sansom, Kate Sedley, and Ellis Peters as well (edited) 7y
callunakeep @Grrlbrarian I have never read CJ Samson, adding to my list!!🤓 7y
