About this ebook
Sister Margherita, her treasurer, has accused Elizabeth of lascivious disregard, claiming that she has given money needed for essential repairs to the new vicar – a man Lady Elizabeth often sees alone at night. With her support amongst the other nuns growing, and a sister murdered in the infirmary, suspicion falls upon the Priory.
Sir Baldwin de Furnshill, Keeper of the King’s Peace, and his friend Bailiff Simon Puttock are summoned to investigate. With the nuns breaking their holy vows of obedience, chastity and poverty with alarming frequency, and the discovery of a second murder, Baldwin and Simon face their most difficult case yet.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Medieval murder mystery set in a priory. The deaths of three nuns/ novices is investigated by local and church officials. Lot and lots of characters, but fortunately a list in the front of the book to help you keep track of all the major players. Enjoyable read, but the large number of people involved was hard to follow at times.
