Hugh Corbett sets out to solve the mystery surrounding the murders of a number of prostitutes. Other than some minor historical inaccuracies it's a decent read. Lovers of cozy mysteries will probably like it. ( ) En 1302, un asesino en serie está actuando impunemente en Londres. El rey de Inglaterra encarga a su más eficaz agente, sir Hugo Corbett, que investigue estas misteriosas muertes. La investigación de Corbett pondrá al descubierto los más turbios asuntos en los que se entremezclan la política, el sexo, los celos y la violencia, y en los que se ven involucrados la abadía de Westminster, un conocido criminal y un nutrido grupo de mujeres de vida alegre. Like all P. C. Doherty's books about Hugh Corbett, a rattling good read. A Mediaeval murder mystery that brings to life the sounds and smells of the cities, villages and people of the period. Great characterisation, well researched (the author knows the period exceptionally well), gentle humour combined with suspense and some "religious" terror. Un-put-down-able. Thoroughly recommended. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Pertence a SérieSir Hugh Corbett (6)
In early 1302 a violent serial killer lurks in the city of London, slitting the throats of prostitutes.And when Lady Somerville, one of the Sisters of St Martha, is murdered in the same barbaric fashion, her death is closely followed by that of Father Benedict in suspicious circumstances. Edward of England turns to his trusted master clerk, Hugh Corbett, to reveal the identity of the bloodthirsty assassin. Joining Corbett on his mission are his devious manservant Ranulf and his faithful horseman Maltote. In the dark, fetid streets of the city and in the desolate abbey grounds, they encounter danger and deceit at every turn. Only Ragwort, the mad beggar, has seen the killer strike, and the one clue that Corbett has to help him is Lady Somerville's cryptic message: 'Calcullus non facit monachum ' - the cowl does not make the monk.
