By Maggie
Format:Hardcover
I have read and enjoyed all the Crowner John novels. Professor Knight has not only researched the history of the period - the reign of Richard the Lionheart - thoroughly, but has added credibility to the detail of his murder mysteries by bringing to bear the knowledge he has acquired during his long career as a forensic pathologist.

My heart sank a little when Crowner John went to work in London (Crowner Royal - 13th in the series). He hated London life and yearned for his home patch in Exeter, and I felt for him. I still enjoyed the book, but John de Wolfe was clearly out of his comfort zone. What a delight to have him back in Exeter for this new Crowner John Mystery (No. 14), still battling with Matilda and still missing the delightful Hilda. Just like old times.

Only this book is not quite like old times. The coroner is stymied when it comes to the murders that occur in and around Exeter, and stymied by the outbreak of yellow plague which curtails his activities and brings him heartache. Whether or not he can find the murderer or murderers is, in this book, much less important than the developments in his own life. I enjoyed A Plague of Heretics as much as I've enjoyed all the others in the series, but it has left me with a feeling that I might have just read the very last Crowner John mystery. I hope not.

Another good read. 22 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback
Having discovered Crowner John at a book sale, I have now read them all, and was pleased to find A Plague of Heretics, was the latest release.
Once again another brilliant story, John, Gwyn and Thomas are again finding murderers, and some dodgy dealings within the church.
I didn,t expect the last three chapters, to produce the surprises they did, or indeed the outcome. There are also some lovely heartfelt moments for the three of them, which I didn,t expect.
I e-mailed the author, Bernard Knight, to compliment him on the fantastic set of books, that Crowner John are, and asked if there were to be anymore, he told me this was the last one, when you have read it, you will understand why. I was hoping for one more, as I really wanted to see that dispicable former sheriff Richard De Revelle hang, it couldn,t happen to a nicer person !!!!!!
I recommend you will find it a good read, as they all are.
I am sorry there will be no more, enjoy while you can.
