Review # 1 was written on 2013-09-26 00:00:00 Jillian Page This book in the series of mysteries centered on Thomas the Falconer continues with the same strengths: interesting setting, diverse range of characters, excitement, and a convoluted mystery. This one, however, rises above the earlier ones in terms of its more compelling disentangling. I am not quite sure how to put it; perhaps this: all the disparate strands are pulled more tightly into a convincing resolution.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-05-30 00:00:00 Gregory Martiensen Rather than dealing mainly with the great and the good, in this fifth book of the series (apart from the odd landowner) Thomas Finbow has to solve a mystery amongst his peers in the rural village of Lambourn in Berkshire. As usual, below the placid surface of village life, no one is quite what they seem and there are plenty of dark secrets to uncover. I also thoroughly enjoyed the detailed description of the process of bell founding, which was fascinating to read!
