I have read another of the Medieval Murderers' books before, so I knew what to expect: a series of historical murder mystery novellas set across several centuries with a common theme. I enjoyed the other book, so I was eager to read another. The common theme in this book is Bermondsey Priory, where the prologue starts the story. Each of the subsequent novellas is set in the priory, or on the grounds of it following the dissolution of the monasteries. As other reviewers have mentioned, the epilogue concludes the story started in the prologue, and in so doing pulls together many of the clues that were given throughout the novellas.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I couldn't put it down. I found each of the stories enjoyable in its own right, and I thought that they were woven together very well. I would recommend this book to anybody who enjoys this genre; and to anybody who would like to get into this genre, as the main characters of four out of the five novellas in this book also have series of their own.
