5.0 out of 5 stars Tops!, 10 Sep 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: A Summer of Discontent: The Eighth Chronicle of Matthew Bartholomew (Matthew Bartholomew Chronicle (Time Warner)) (Paperback)
Probably not the best of this excellent series, but great nonetheless. More black humour than some of the earlier books, and really merciless on the Church. Its great to see that Brother Michael, a far more interesting character than the too-good-to-be-true Bartholomew, continues his advance from bit player to co-star. He really is worthy of a spin-off series, that shows some of his often hinted at covert work for the Bishop of Ely. The plot, as always, is intricate, and has that rare quality of seeming to unfold as real events do, beyond the control of the characters. Excellent all round.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read, 16 Aug 2007

This review is from: A Summer of Discontent: The Eighth Chronicle of Matthew Bartholomew (Matthew Bartholomew Chronicle (Time Warner)) (Paperback)
I am steadily working my way through this series, and loving them.
The author skillfully draws you into the medieval world of Cambridge and its surrounds with engaging characters and portraits of life that seem very plausible.
I reckon this is the best so far.
There is far greater humour in this book and situations that made me laught out loud. As always, the plot twists and turns and the ending is never as you expect.
A must read for fans of Cadfael and Medieval type fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eighth Book in a Terrific Series, 27 Jan 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: A Summer of Discontent: The Eighth Chronicle of Matthew Bartholomew (Matthew Bartholomew Chronicle (Time Warner)) (Paperback)
Susanna Gregory is the pseudonym of a Cambridge academic who was previously a coroner's officer. Her series of mediaeval mysteries have gained a formidable following. This book is the second in the series and introduces the physician Matthew Bartholomew to the reader. There are now a number of books in the series and they are always eagerly awaited by the author's fans.

Besides practising medicine Matthew is also a teacher at a Cambridge University and his sometimes unorthodox treatment of his patients draws accusations of heresy from his more traditional, but less skilled colleagues.

When the opportunity arises for Bartholomew to take a trip to Ely with Brother Michael he jumps at the chance. The Benedictine priory at Ely has a richly stocked library and the scholar in Matthew is excited at the chance to study some of the books there. But when they arrive the thought of the library is pushed from his mind as he and Michael find that the reason they have been called to the city is because the bishop has been accused of murder . . .
