Summary
The play's the thing, to catch the conscience of a killer...
The Christmas season brings strange guests to the medieval nunnery of St. Frideswide's when a troupe of penniless players comes knocking at the gate. They bear with them the badly mangled body of a villager, swearing they found the drunken fool lying in a ditch. But Meg, the victim's wife and a scullery maid of the cloister, thinks there are far fouler deeds afoot.
As the players rehearse for the nativity, ancient scandals lick at their heels and dark desperation haunts Meg's steps as she finds cruel feudal laws threatening to strip away the lands that would support both her and her sons in the wake of her husband's death.
Dame Frevisse must thrust herself between these violent feuds, awakening dreams of her youth that she had believed long buried. Her very faith may be threatened, but Frevisse knows she must unravel a path to true salvation...before false raptures of lust bring ruination upon them all.

Good story with an unusual twist!
I like these books, the content is good but sadly the narrator is somewhat tiresome. Her Character voices are done well but ALL the narrated parts have an irritating rise and fall that is identical in every sentence. This who chose narrators really should listen to a while chapter before giving them the job

A basic murder mystery
It is a very basic murder mystery. As with the first story, it moves at a slow pace, one of the flaws is that you see through multiple eyes so the murderer is very easy to identify half way through then you have to wait for the characters to catch up.
