I finished THE HOLY INNOCENTS by Kate Sedley. A good story but I figured out whodunnit and how about halfway through. Next up I think will be the next-in-series for me by Michael Jecks, A MOORLAND HANGING. This is 3rd of 28 in series featuring Simon Puttock, medieval West County bailiff, and Sir Baldwin Furnshill, ex-Templar Knight, in Devon, England. Here is a description:
In fourteenth-century Devon, runaway villeins were brutally punished if apprehended by their masters. But when Peter Bruther flees the home of Sir William Beauscyr, he puts himself in the protection of the king by setting up as a tin miner on the moors. And the bailiff of Lydford, Simon Puttock, has to inform an irate Sir William that he has no legal claim on his wayward servant. When Bruther's body is found hanging from a tree, Simon, assisted by the former Knight Templar Sir Baldwin Furnshill, finds himself investigating cold-blooded murder. And there's no shortage of suspects, from Sir William himself, to his feuding sons, to Thomas Smyth, a wealthy tinner who runs a ruthlessly enforced protection racket funded by landowners. The pressure is on Simon and Baldwin to unravel the truth before further violence ensues.
It was published in 1996 and has 384 pages. This one may take me to the end of the month.
A few good books I'm interested in are being released in August:
- Crosby Ellen - THE RIESLING RETRIBUTION
- Kortya, Michael - THE SILENT HOUR
- Maron, Margaret - SAND SHARKS
- Royal, Priscilla - CHAMBERS OF DEATH
Tonight on tv is The Closer and Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations.
Much love,
