Product Description

Product Description

Three powerful Norman lords and a dispossessed Saxon thegn watch their steeds race close to the forest of Woodstock, each lusting for a win. But the first horse past the post has an empty saddle and his rider is lying in a copse
with a knife in his back ...Ralph Delchard and Gervase Bret, Domesday commissioners on behalf of the King, are guests of the Sheriff of Oxford while they settle a land dispute. But soon their attentions are focused on a stretch of grass outside Woodstock where a murderer's secrets are to be found.
The solution will not be easy; from the powerful lords with their dynastic ties, to the downtrodden Saxons, living beneath the heavy Norman yoke, Oxfordshire is teeming with malice, hatred and struggles for power, and more than one man has reason to wish the rider of the black stallion unseated from his horse. But who would go as far as murder?

By J. Chippindale TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
Edward Marston is the pseudonym of Keith Miles, a fairly prolific and extremely good writer of mainly Elizabethan and medieval mysteries. He has also written mysteries under his own name with both sporting and golf backgrounds. However it is primarily the books that take place earlier in history that I am interested in. He read modern history at Oxford and has had many jobs, including university lecturer, but fortunately for all his readers, he turned to the writing profession.

After reading the first book in the series, I avidly sought out all the other books by Edward Marston and not a single one has ever disappointed me. They are about a period of history that I love. His Elizabethan theatre series of books were wonderful and he has continued them through from 1988 to 2006. The Domesday series is also a great series and this is the second book in the series.

The Domesday series is about a period in England's history shortly after the Norman conquest , during the reign of William the Conqueror. It was King William himself who called for an `inventory' to assess taxes and survey landholdings. This inventory was called the Domesday book and was a tremendous undertaking, but one that brought stability to England. Edward Marston's Domesday novels are based upon actual entries in the Domesday Book.

Another excellent story in the doomsday series 4 Feb 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Another superb medieval whodunnit from the master of the genre. The plot has the five central characters, Ralph, Gervase, Golde, Hubert and Simon involved in another investigation of land disputes in the doomsday book. In this case one of the claimants is murdered during a horse race. As usual the plot has many twists but it is the rapier witt diologue between the characters that makes this an immensely enjoyable read.

Excellent historical mystery from a little-known era 12 Mar 2009
By S. Schwartz - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Marston's Domesday books are set in England during the time of William I. I love the historical information that comes out with each book, but I also love the mysteries. These are complex and not easy to figure out. This book is set in and around the community of Woodstock. Gervaise and Ralph are sent to settle land disputes and find themselves in the middle of murder and mayhem. The book includes horse races, choirs and marital infidelity. It makes for an action-packed story, that kept me turning pages. This is a wonderful series for historical mystery buffs.
