pickThe vill of Sticklepath holds many dark secrets and when the skeleton of a young girl is found and rumours of cannibalism abound, Sir Baldwin and friends come to investigate.
The author is very good at invoking an atmosphere but be warned, it's a very depressing one.
Based on the TV show I've enjoyed greatly. Lots of colorful folks, great surroundings, and a complex mystery. I enjoyed it.
pickWhen the Domesday Commissioners arrive in Canterbury they find that a charitable young woman has been found dead, apparently from a snake bite. A monk who ministers to lepers insists she was strangled first and then bitten afterwords. Then the monk himself is found poisoned.
I was nearly right. My choice of murderer turned out to be the murderer's chief henchman. The book was rather slow at first but the last third was very exciting.
Hoping to get to at least two fo them for #ReadYourKindle hosted by @CBee
4. Let's think of the mystery itself. How does it compare with the prior two novels we read, especially Styles? Were you surprised by the ending? Did you figure everything out before Poirot made the big reveal? Any red herrings trip you up? #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
Yet another from my extensive collection of seasonal crime novels….
