Product Description
1191. During excavation work at Glastonbury Abbey, an ancient leaden cross is discovered buried several feet below ground. Inscribed on the cross are the words: Hic iacet sepultus inclitus rex arturius ...Here lies buried the renowned King Arthur. Beneath the cross are skeletal remains. Could these really be the remains of the legendary King Arthur and his queen, Guinevere? As the monks debate the implications of this extraordinary discovery, the bones disappear - spirited away by the mysterious Guardians, determined to keep the king's remains safe until the ancient legend is fulfilled and Arthur returns to protect his country in the hour of its greatest need. A missing right hand. A gang of ruthless bodysnatchers. Brother accused of killing brother. As the secret of the bones' hiding place is passed from generation to generation, those entrusted to safeguard Arthur's remains must withstand treachery, theft, blackmail and murder in order to keep the legend intact.

#5, The Best Thus Far,
By
This review is from: King Arthur's Bones (Historical Mystery Series) (Paperback)
I will not offer up a synopsis, but suffice it to say it was a most enjoyable read especially those portions written by Bernard Knight and Michael Jecks who can always be counted on for excellence in writing and weaving a tale. The other authors involved in this work are good too, but I have my preferences.

King Arthur's Bones,
By JaneyBlue "JaneyBlue" (Berkshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: King Arthur's Bones (Historical Mystery Series) (Paperback)
This is the 5th book in the Medieval Murderers series and, because I tend to read each of the authors individually anyway, I have enjoyed each of the composite books.King Arthur's Bones is probably my favourite, charting the movement of the king's bones around Wales throughout the years. Some of the characters seem to be more finely-drawn than usual, which is probably why this is my favourite. Well worth a read!

to even pick this book up. Fortunately, I love mysteries, particularly those set in medieval times. This book is actually a collection of five short stories by five well known writers, as well as an epilogue that ties all five together. The first story is set in 1291 and the latest is set in 1818. All the stories are about a set of bones, originally found near Wales, that were rumored to be those of King Arthur. The bones are hidden and rediscovered through the ages and various murders and other mayhem occurred whenever they surfaced.All five stories are good. I'm not a writer, but I assume these five had fun handing the stories off to each other. One story, the fourth, involves William Shakespeare and his brother. Definitely worth reading if you're interested - and knowledgeable - about the times.
