Crouchback is a medieval word derived from cross-back and indicates participation in a crusade.
April 1284. As a newly widowed lady-in-waiting to the very pregnant Queen Eleanor of England, Catrin never expected to return to Wales again. She was definitely unprepared to be confronted with murder when she got there - or to find herself face-to-face with Rhys, the childhood friend she lost 20 years before. Rhys had never intended to return home either, but a lifetime of war has deposited him right back where he started - impoverished and owing service to Catrin's older brother.
With Wales fallen irrevocably to England and not knowing whom else they can trust, Catrin and Rhys join forces against the treachery and intrigue rife within the half-built Caernarfon Castle. And when the killer strikes again, this time within the royal court, the pair race to uncover his identity before he touches the king himself - or his infant son.
Crouchback is the first book in The Welsh Guard Mysteries.

The narrator dies some Welsh place names and so in what seems to be an authentic North Wales accent to me, but reads it both slowly and dully.
It does contradict itself at times regarding Catrin’s degree of independence, and like many writers information is repeated as though you don’t know it. For instance we are present at a scene, then later told what happened as though it’s new info. I think that’s lazy writing- because the author can’t be bothered taking out repetitions that were originally intended to help them if they move sections around. A proper editor would clear that kind of thing up. It reads as though the author is paid by the word and has padded the story out!
Interesting story, bit simplistic, narrated like a shopping list for someone skint.
