panSimon Puttock organises a tournament for Lord Hugh, only to find his efforts come to nothing when bodies turn up and he is cast as main suspect.
Not 1 of the author's best. I kept getting some of the potential suspects muddled and realised who the murderer actually was pretty early on. Also 2 of the victims (out of 5) were a gay couple, IIRC the 1st gay characters in this series, but our sympathies were obviously meant to lie with the murderer.
#BookSpinBingo time!
My two mainstay perpetual challenges are the books of Louis L'Amour and Stephen King.
But I have a few on my backed up challenge list.
I do have two reading lists I'm working on so...Goodreads 50 Greatest Childrens Books and Medieval Historical Fiction lists are going to be my selection for this month.
Anne will get me completed for the Goodreads challenge-but I'll read it after summer reading program!

I scored several old Sr.Fidelma Mysteries #mysteriesofAncientIreland through Thrift Books.Sipping my Labor Day morning coffee while enjoying what feels like an autumn day in my porch! Coldish breeze, the temp is 69. Barely a cloud- bright blue skies. I plan to walk afterwards. #porchlife #LazyLaborDay #coffeeandbooks
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? ⬇
"The first of the murders which so shook the cathedral passed with little comment. "
