About this product
Product Information
Sixth novel in the increasingly popular medieval mystery series featuring Crowner John, Devon's first county coroner. May 1195, and Sir John de Wolfe is faced with a strange series of serial murders, which begins with the suffocation of a Jewish money-lender and proceeds through that of a London harlot, a dissolute priest and a burgess suspected of abusing young boys. The common factor is that an appropriate Biblical text is left at each murder scene, the mode of which reflects the alleged sin of the victim. This means that a literate and Bible-learned killer is involved - which, in an age where only 1 percent of the population oan read or write - can only be a priest. There are at least twenty-five parish churches in Exeter, so the killer could be any one of more than a hundred clerics. Crowner John sets about to discover the identity of the homicidal priest.Product Identifiers

Great book at a great price.
This is about the twelfth book in the Crowner John series, by Bernard Knight, that I have bought from the Cotswold Library. Like all the others this book immerses the reader into the world of a 12th century coroner based in Exeter in the County of Devon. The author is a former Home Office pathologist who has carefully researched the medieval period and introduces characters who did, in fact, really exist. Like all the books in this series the reader can't wait to get to the next chapter, to see what happens next!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Easy reading. Enjoying the locactions which I visit on many occassions. Love walking the same streets as John De Wolfe. I would reccommend without hesitation, the reader may find that they will also learn some medieval history without realising it. This is part of a series make sure you read them in order. The Sanctuary Seeker being the first.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
