    About this ebook

    In the Spring of 1277, Prioress Eleanor goes on a pilgrimage to a famous East Anglian shrine. There are rumors that King Edward may also visit the shrine soon to seek God's blessing for his invasion of Wales. Lurking in this sacred place, however, is an assassin hoping to murder a king.

    Soon after Prioress Eleanor and Brother Thomas arrive, a nun falls to her death from the priory bell tower. Brother Thomas finds the body, and the pair quickly grasp that this nun's death was not a simple tragedy. The circumstances point to murder, but this slaying is further tainted with treason. Among the pilgrims, merchants, and religious, too many betray an interest in this death—including a canny street child. At least one of them is most certainly a killer.

    Can Prioress Eleanor and Brother Thomas succeed in exposing the assassin or will they also fall victim to one who has made a covenant with hell?

      Medieval mysteries are not my normal reading area. I've read very few and had mixed feelings. All the angst about sin and the church tends to wear me out. This book, however I found very enjoyable because of the interesting relationship and respect between the two main characters, Prioress Eleanor and Brother Thomas. This book is the tenth in a series and I read several of the first books in the series a number of years ago. None recently however and this book feels like it would hold up very well as a standalone book to someone unfamiliar with the series. This book is outside the setting of the prior books I had read. There are a few references to past events which I was unfamiliar with but I didn't think it interfered with my enjoyment of the story.I thought the book had a bit of a slow start but I think it was mostly me getting used to the setting and setup for the story. Solving the mystery part of the story (the suspicious death of a young nun) was handled well. I think I'll be reading some of the earlier stories in this series over time. 3 - 3 1/2 stars
