The most thrilling book of the series I have read so far. Good insite in the century's long strive for Scottish independency. Simon Forman rocks.

Whilst an improvement on the somewhat stale 'Murder at the Rose', this third outing for
Dr Simon Forman is still a trifle disappointing.
There is a good story here, but the characters are
once again too shallow and Forman himself lacks
any deep appeal to the reader. Cook seems unable
to decide on the nature of her central character
- is he a rakish adventurer or not ? He spends
most of this book complaining about his circumstances (even they are forced upon him) and
all too often seems to lack 'masculinity' in his thoughts and actions. The story itself is quite good, although lacking in surprises, and if you fancy yourself as a sleuth you wont be challenged to expose the villain of this one.
If you are intrigued by the Border Reivers a much better bet would be PF Chisholm's series of books about the warden of the
West March Robert Carey ( curiously a minor character in 'Blood on the Borders').
