I've set aside the Julia Spencer-Fleming for a bit and I'm now reading SHROUD OF DISHONOUR by Maureen Ash. This is 5th of 6 in series featuring Bascot de Marins, a Templar Knight recovering from imprisonment in the holy lands, in the early 1200s, in England. Here is a description:
Templar Bascot de Marins is preparing to rejoin the Holy Wars when he is called upon to investigate a gruesome murder in the Order's own chapel... The shocking discovery of a strangled prostitute in the Templar chapel throws the Order into disarray. Alongside the corpse is a purse containing thirty pence-the same amount of silver Judas received for betraying Christ. Is the murder revenge for a Templar brother's betrayal? Has one of their own broken his vow of chastity? The Order's preceptor turns to Bascot to determine whether an outsider is seeking to dishonour the Templars or a murderer walks among their ranks.
It was published in 2010 and has 272 pages. I've been putting off reading the series since it appeared she stopped writing it but I was in the mood for a medieval.
Nothing on TV tonight except reruns so maybe I'll read. The pickings are pretty slim on TV but maybe we'll watch a movie sometime in the next few days. Still have Despicable Me 2 on DVD and Wolverine on On Demand to watch. Steve will probably play on his new computer this evening.
I may not get a chance to post the next couple days with Christmas; I'll have to play that by ear. Plus the news for which I get the current events will probably come to a screeching halt as well. We're working tomorrow until at least noon and maybe further into the afternoon if we're busy. Then spending Christmas Eve with M&D and Steve's mom is coming for dinner Christmas Day.
Merry Christmas Eve Eve!
Much love,
