Product Description

It is the spring of 1297, and young wife Margaret Kerr is desperately afraid. With English soldiers patrolling the streets, it is no place for a woman alone. Margaret's mission is frowned upon, her arrival at her uncle's tavern unwelcome. And when she starts to ask questions she finds a city rife with closely guarded secrets and dangerous loyalties. Soon violence erupts outside the tavern and there is murder on their doorstep. Margaret discovers how little she had known either of Roger or Jack...

A Trust Betrayed 15 Jan 2003
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
I thoughly enjoyed this book. The difference between this and other medieval murder mystery books is that this book features a woman as its "super sleuth". The author incorporates many people in to the plot which was hard at some points to keep up with, but which certainly made the book interesting. I found it was one of those books you simply couldn't put down. My only negative point would be that the ending left you feeling a little cheated. Many questions are left unanswered (issues to cross over to the next instalement) and unfortunatly the book gives no indication when the follow up book will be published. Other than that, a jolly good "who done it", obviously written by someone who has done a lot of medieval research. Reading the book teaches you a lot about the realities of living during this period of Scottish history.

"A Trust Betrayed" is precisely how this book left me feeling. Opening with Margaret looking for her missing husband, it closes with the same dilemma unsatisfactorily unresolved. Doubtless a second book will follow and if this book had worked I should care about what happens next, but I don`t.

The author has obviously researched her historical facts but her storyline, characterisation and feel for the time and place, fail abysmally.

As if this were not bad enough, the final FOURTEEN pages of my edition comprised advertising for the author`s other books. Because this included a 12 page extract from another book readers are badly misled about where the book itself ends.

A poor read, poorly presented.

A Trust Betrayed 21 Feb 2011
Format:Paperback
I enjoyed reading the Owen Archer novels. It was an interesting period of history, and I turned to the new series with high hopes, only to find that the magic was not there. There was too much Scottish history, and the characters never came alive. I was not interested in Margaret Kerr.
Probably I found such an unfamiliar period difficult to relate to, but this is not a common problem for me. The history had not been digested. In place of vivid details and a wealth of living characters I searched in vain. I finished the book because I am a determined reader, but other books produced later have the same faults.
