Product Description

Product Description

Once again the perceptive nun, Dame Frevisse, is caught in the middle of a murder scenario. When the body of Sir Ralph of Woodrim is discovered in the woods near his manor house, she finds herself positioned as the comfort-provider to a widow who's not grieving. It soon emerges that the late master of the manor, despised by his wife and family, can still hold power over his heirs through his will, just as he did in life, with stringent demands upon his executors. As secrets are drawn out into the light, Dame Frevisse fears the murderer among them will not rest until the family legacy has been settled once and for all and it is she who must resolve the mysteries and ensure justice is done.

4.0 out of 5 stars Secrets, Lies, and Family Ties, 2 Mar 2004
This review is from: The Hunter's Tale (Sister Frevisse Medieval Mysteries) (Hardcover)
Sir Ralph Woderove rules his family with a rod of iron--and his brutal fists. So when, in the summer of 1448, the avid huntsman is discovered dead in the forest, nobody mourns--not his rebellious sons, not his despised grandson, nor even his calm, levelheaded wife who has spent years holding together the family her late husband tried to tear apart. Little effort is expended trying to discover the murderer and, despite the vindictive terms of Sir Ralph's will, the survivors gradually begin to mend as individuals and a clan . . . until a second death shatters their tenuous peace.

Into this new tragedy comes the insightful Benedictine nun Dame Frevisse, released from her duties to escort Sir Ralph's widow and daughter--the latter a pupil at St. Frideswide's convent--home for the funeral and the coroner's investigation. A reluctant guest at the Woderoves' manor, Dame Frevisse soon finds herself in the midst of a bitter interfamilial quarrel as a covetous neighbor sets out to enforce the terms of Sir Ralph's will, by fair means or foul. More alarming still is the dark cloud of secrets hovering over the Woderoves--secrets that can destroy or strengthen the ties that bind, or lead one person to kill again.

As ever, Margaret Frazer depicts the realities of medieval England with skill and conviction and presents a shrewd but sympathetic "detective" in Dame Frevisse. Frazer's novels dealing with family life may be among her strongest--and readers of "The Hunter's Tale" will not soon forget the embattled Woderoves, struggling to survive as a family while beset by destructive forces on all sides. Highly recommended.
