Second in the Owen Archer Series,
By
This review is from: The Lady Chapel: An Owen Archer Mystery: A Medieval Murder Mystery (Owen Archer Mysteries 02) (Paperback)
Candace Robb has read and researched medieval history for many years, having studied for a Ph.D. in Medieval and Anglo-Saxon Literature. She divides her time between Seattle and the UK, frequently spending time in Scotland and York to research her books. York is very close to my own home and many of the places mentioned in the Owen Archer books are still there to be seen and of course Archbishop John Thorseby is mentioned in the records of York Minster. All this adds spice for me and helps me to picture the time and events that took place. This is the second novel in what is proving to be a captivating series. It is the year of our Lord 1365, Owen Archer is called to the Minster Close by Archbishop Thoresby. The Archbishop is well aware that Owen has many skills to add to his expertise with the long bow. The Welsh archer also has a rare talent for detective work. While the city of York has been celebrating Corpus Christi, a man has been murdered. The man's severed hand has been delivered to Gilbert Ridley, a merchant and Owen is sent to investigate.

The Lady's Chapel by Candace Robb,
By shelagh@pworsell.freeserve.co.uk (Bournemouth, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lady Chapel: An Owen Archer Mystery: A Medieval Murder Mystery (Owen Archer Mysteries 02) (Paperback)
Have discovered this book at a Charity Shop. My usual reading is by Larry McMurtry, James A. Michener and any historical items of the American West also any good stories about Merlin and King Arthur. I have just finished The Ladys Chapel and thoroughly enjoyed the complexities of its story line which I believe is based on historical fact. Candace Robb has made it even more interesting by the use of good characterisation in conversation of the various people. I am now going to buy another of her books and look forward to another enjoyable read.
