Product Description

Sister Frevisse is sinfully good at discerning the mysteries of the soul and solving the crimes of the human heart. Now, on her way to a baptism, Sister Frevisse finds the truth in the saying blood is thicker than water...and as easily spilled. Waylaid by a band of outlaws, she learns that their leader is her long-lost cousin, who asks her to help him get pardoned for his crimes. But while Sister Frevisse is lodging at the home of Nicholas' business companion, an unpardonable act of murder is committed. Even if it means her own kin is condemned, Sister Frevisse must discover who robbed a rich landowner of his purse and his life.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very convincing, 18 Jan 2009
By M. J. Bourne "vandering" (Cumbria UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sister Frevisse is on her way to a baptism sometime during England's Middle Ages when outlaws led by her long-lost cousin Nicholas waylay her party. He's after a pardon, not cash. Frevisse is not averse, but before her intercessory letter can reach the authorities, a murder and a robbery occur and Nicholas (a man whose restless nature wars constantly with his intentions) is implicated. Frevisse sets out to solve the mystery, praying that her own kin is not involved.

Personally I thought the period feel was pretty weak - this is a murder mystery that could be adapted to any era. The characters did not convince me and the start is very slow. By page 60 I frankly didn't care what happened to any of these people. Admittedly things do pick up but this is no Cadfael. I could not honestly recommend it.
