Product Description
Product Description
A mysterious book of prophecies written by a sixth century Irish monk has puzzled scholars through the ages. Foretelling wars, plagues and rebellions, the Black Book of Bran is said to have predicted the Black Death and the Gunpowder Plot. But is it the result of divine inspiration or the ravings of a madman? A hidden hoard of Saxon gold. A poisoned priest. A monk skinned alive in Westminster Abbey. Only one thing is certain: whoever comes into possession of the cursed book meets a gruesome and untimely end.
About the Author

Former police officer SUSANNA GREGORY's novels feature MATTHEW BARTHOLOMEW, a Cambridge physician in the period immediately after the Black Death. Cornwall-based IAN MORSON is the author of the FALCONER series, and PHILIP GOODEN writes Shakespearean murder mysteries.

Lost Prophecies is gold,

This review is from: The Lost Prophecies (Medieval Murderers Group 4) (Hardcover)
To be honest this is a little gem of a book as it's a collection of short stories by established names and whilst some of the authors writing style isn't too well suited to the short story you have enough variety and choice to get a thoroughly enjoyable book. Its also a cracking way to try authors without having to spend out serious money on each individually. Its something I wish more publishers did to help promote authors. A definite purchase and something that if you love the current trend in medieval crime novels is something that won't disappoint.

.. I totally adore this series! All of the authors are writers that I enjoy individually, being a hge history-mystery buff. I was gripped from the very start of the series and it was with great anticipation that I picked up this latest offering.
I would love to know how they construct the book - do they all take turns in writing in sequence so that the next author can include references from the previous chapter? It's fascinating. To be honest, the central incidents are so intriguing that I could quite happily read a book twice the length with an even bigger collection of authors, spanning an even greater variety of eras. The last chapter this time was really quite startling, but still fitted well into the general scenario, giving good pause for thought. Excellent, and I can't wait for the next one to come out!
