The Murderer's Tale

By Margaret Frazer

Book Overview

THROUGH A MURDERER'S EYES ...

Caught under the tyrannical thumb of her new prioress, Dame Frevisse finds welcome relief in leaving St. Frideswide nunnery on pilgrimage. But the road brings with it unwelcome company: The wealthy Lionel Knyvet has been possessed by a foul demon. Seeking relief from the horrific terrors visited upon his body each fortnight, Lionel has dragged his entire household on an endless pilgrimage across the breadth and length of England. Frevisse wants nothing more than the peaceful bliss of travel, but must instead endure the incessant chattering of a mob.

Lionel's possession, however, may only mask a darker sin. When the pilgrims make their way to the manor house at Minster Lovell, Frevisse begins to unwind the bitter poisons of jealousy and betrayal eating at the hearts of both Lionel and his brother Giles. Against her will, the innocent nun is drawn into the vilest depths of the human soul and there she unlocks the mysteries of a blackened heart. But even when the truth comes out, can justice be done? The pure of heart will find no peace when murder and death come knocking at the manor's door ...

I Think the best so far in this series!

This is probably the best in the Sister Frevisse series so far, even though we know who the murderer is from the beginning. What we discover as we read is a medieval mystery that has a great sense of time and place. We see the whole "castle keep life" as they lived it. We also see the superstition and belief in the supernatural that was so much a part of this day and age. It must have been terrible for anyone that suffered from the "falling sickness" back then since people were so afraid that that person was possessed by demons.
