This is another in the Crowner John series. He is the equivalent of a coroner in mecieval England. The background is detailed and authentic, the characters develope over time and there is murder and other crimes to be solved - all leading to a very good read. This one ii really a prequel as it deals withe time before John became coroner in Exeter so can be enjoyed by people new to the series and to those who already enjoy it and want some questions answered.

Another great story

This is a perfectly enjoyable book, which is probably of most interest to someone new to the Crowner John series by Bernard Knight. As a long time follower of the books I wasn't going to miss this prequel, but that said there is very little that will be new to fans. Most of the background as to how Sir John became Crowner has been given or alluded to throughout the series but it was still an entertaining listen.

Easy listening for me, easy money for the author.
