When a glovemaker is found murdered, everybody assumes his apprentice was the culprit, especially as some jewellery and cash has also gone missing. But then the bodies start piling up. The dean of Exeter cathedral asks Sir Baldwin Furnshill and Simon Puttock to investigate, but why isn't he relying on local law enforcement? ⬇

rwmg The first couple of chapters were quite overwhelming - there were just so many characters being introduced before we met the ones we knew. I did manage to work out the culprit just before the reveal scene and it was a fun mystery but Simon didn't really have much to do in this one. They used to have a more equal partnership, while now Simon seems to have been demoted to sidekick. 4mo

"The first of the murders which so shook the cathedral passed with little comment. "

A knight on a secret mission, his dog, and a convicted felon all lie dead in the woods. But a lot of people seem to have been passing through the woods that night. So who killed whom?

Even with the list of dramatis personae at the front, it took me a while to get straight in my mind who all the minor characters were but it was an enjoyable read.

When a novice nun dies and the prioress is accused of her murder by the nunnery's treasurer in a letter to the suffragan bishop, he asks Keeper of the Peace Sir Baldwin Furnshill and Warden Simon Puttock to investigate discreetly. But why, when the nunnery does not fall in either of them's jurisdiction?

A good fun easy read. So glad I live in an age of anaesthetics and antibiotics.

She was lucky not to have died.
