Excellent...........I look forward to reading the next one,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ashes of the Elements (Hawkenlye Mystery) (Paperback)
This is the second novel in the Hawkenlye series based in Southern England during the late 12th Century. The story surrounds a death in the Wealden Forest very close to Hawkenlye Abbey which is attributed to the mysterious "Forest People". Josse d'Acquin and Abbess Helewise, the two main characters, enter the forest and are witness to disturbing rituals as they lead you through their dangerous journey of investigation. The characters and the description of the surroundings are well done and you are transported back in time whilst reading the novel. The relationship between Josse and Helewise, based on friendship and respect, develops during the story.

A worthy follower fo Ellis Peter Fans,
This review is from: Ashes of the Elements (Hawkenlye Mystery) (Paperback)
This is the second book I have read of Alys Clare. This mystery related the deeper friendship that had started between Josse d'Acquin and the Abbess Helewise in the first book,"Fortune like the Moon". If you are a fan of Ellis Peters books, the Cadfael mysteries, you will really enjoy these books. They have a good feel about them. And they come with that, "once picked up you cant put down" feel.

A broad reaching crime novel,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ashes of the Elements (Hawkenlye Mystery) (Hardcover)
Josse d'Aquin and Abbess Helewise continue their association in this second novel of the Hawkenlye series. The plot brings in mysterious elements from ancient ritual, and the shadow of the great Wealden Forest hangs heavy over the novel. Will the enigmatic murder be solved? Read it and find out!
