Product Description

Review
"Nicely detailed and tightly argued, with involving and memorable characters. The whole series belongs in any collection where historicals are popular."

Product Description
When a merchant in Exeter hears an intruder in his home one night, his first thought is to conceal his adulterous lover. But then he witnesses a sinister figure stooping over the bed of his only child, a figure who seems to vanish into thin air.

Two years on and the identity of the intruder has become common knowledge: the idiot of the city who lost his own children many years ago, and who seems doomed to wander the town searching for them. But when a boy then disappears, suspicion immediately falls on him.

The local constable is determined to solve the mystery, as his own son disappeared some years ago and he always suspected the fool. Sir Baldwin is asked to follow a lead to the manor of Bishop’s Clyst to try and find out what has happened. While he is there a body is found under the stone bridge - the body of a boy, but not the one who recently went missing...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Medieval Mystery, 11 Mar 2007
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Butcher of St Peter's (Audio CD)

For those readers who are familiar with Michael Jecks books, this one is just as good as all the rest. For those who have not read Michael Jecks, but like historical novels, particularly about medieval England, you are in for all real treat.

Michael Jecks has got his subject matter down to a fine art. His characters are so well established that they are like old friends to the reader. Also to write about the area in which he lives is a masterstroke and must make researching the books so much easier.

This is another book in the series of Knights Templar Mysteries set in Exeter and the surrounding areas and features Sir Baldwin de Furnshill , once a member of the now disbanded Knight's Templars and now Keeper of the King's Peace.

When a boy disappears the local idiot, who lost his own children many years ago is immediately put under suspicion. The local law officer whose own son disappeared years ago is determined to solve the mystery.

Sir Baldwin is asked for his assistance in solving the crime and he follows a lead to the manor of Bishop's Clyst. While he is there the body of a boy is found under a bridge, but strangely it is not the one who so recently went missing . . .

1.0 out of 5 stars Butcher of St. Peter's, 27 Jun 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: The Butcher of St. Peter's (Medieval West Country Mysteries) (Hardcover)
A disturbed person is going to peoples homes at night, homes with children sleeping there; one night there is a murder and a parent trying to protect his children is killed. From then on murder after bloody murder follows. There is so much blood and gore, everyone in the book seems unhappy, even the maid has cancer! Sir Baldwin is sad, his wife even more so. For those who enjoy the unpleasant details of murder this book will be a hit, unfortunately I found it focused so much on the nasty side of medieval life that it detracted from the chase to find the killer. I found I was waiting to see what nasty was going to happen to the latest character, so skipped chunks of dialogue to avoid the misery. I was relieved when the killer eventually received his justice!
I have read all of Jecks books in this series but I this book I enjoyed the least.
