Review # 2 was written on 2014-10-12 00:00:00 Maureen Ellis I enjoy Bernard Knight's medieval mysteries, as they are usually engaging and well thought-out and consistent with the period and setting. This book is no exception. While I enjoy his mysteries, I find some faults with Knight's writing. There is a lot of exposition (some of which can be forgiven as he takes the time to explain some of the more foreign aspects of medieval law) which might be better shown than told. Worse, in the course of a single book, Knight repeats himself a great deal. Some aspects of character backstory are shared two or even three times when once was quite sufficient. He repeats many of his idioms as well (such as "drawn like iron filings to a lodestone") to the point of distraction. Still, I always find I look forward to the next adventure of John de Wolfe, Sergeant Gwyn and Thomas the clerk.
