Özet

Baron Herbert’s return from crusade should have been a joyous occasion. Instead, he grows increasingly morose, withdraws from his family, and refuses to share his wife’s bed. When his sons begin to die in strange accidents, some ask whether Herbert harbors a dark sin for which God has cursed him. Or perhaps there is a malign presence at this stormblasted castle, oddly named Doux et Dur.

The baron sends for Sir Hugh of Wynethorpe, begging his friend to bring spiritual and secular healers but giving little explanation for the request. Worried about Herbert’s descent into melancholy and the tragic deaths, Sir Hugh persuades his sister, Prioress Eleanor of Tyndal Priory, to accompany him as well as a respected physician, Master Gamel. Although he is pleased when the prioress brings her healer, Sister Anne, he is dismayed to find Brother Thomas included, a man he has reason to despise.

Tensions spark among family members and soon between those who came to help. Death’s scythe harvests more victims, and it is not long before Ecclesiastes’ grim words seem all too apt. But is there also a time to heal?

This is the eighth in Royal's Medieval Mystery series.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"A spooky setup worthy of John Dickson Carr highlights Royal’s brilliant eighth mystery set in thirteenth-century England…. While the murderer’s identity may surprise few, the rich atmosphere and well-drawn characters make this a superior historical." (Publishers Weekly)

I agree with the previous review. This story was ruined by poor narration. Poor brother Thomas deserved much better. I have struggled before with this reader's pronounciation but persevered because I enjoy the stories but this was by far the worst.

Poor narration

l like this series very much, but was disappointed in this story. I'm afraid the villain was very quickly obvious.

A bit obvious

Delighted that the original narrator is back. Enjoyable despite the fact that the plot was a little weak - it was pretty obvious early on who the killer was.

I have enjoyed this series and thought I understood the whys and where’s of Brother Thomas’s conversion to Tyndall Abbey, until this book. He has suddenly turned into a complete Norfike in his accent and sounds 20 years older than the last book.. please don’t do this, it’s unbearable to listen to and makes the whole thing completely change in my mind’s eye.

Brother Thomas is a country bumpkin..?

I've listened to quite a few of these now and this one is the poorest in my opinion. I guessed the murderer in less than half an hour. Also the narrator changed the accent of one of the main characters, Thomas, halfway through and he then sounded as if he came from the West Country when he came from London. I have other gripes but can't summon up the energy to recount them.

Not very enjoyable
