Another Mystery for Sir Josse and Abbess Helewise - Rated
Alys Clare's novels are like a breath of fresh air. I love medieval murder mysteries and there are certainly a lot of them about (thank goodness), but the author's books breathe new life into the period and her will they won't they situation with Helewise and Sir Josse, holds the reader's attention as well. Don't be swayed into thinking that these books are written with the female reader in mind. They are for everybody, young and old, male or female.
It is difficult to believe that this is the eleventh book in the Hawkenlye series. It does not seem that long ago that the first book in the series appeared in print. That book was Fortune Like the Moon and was first published in 1999 and introduced us to the characters of Sir Josse d'Aquin, an old colleague of none other than King Richard himself and amateur sleuth Abbess Helewise, of Hawkenlye Abbey. There alliance is somewhat of a strange one, with undercurrents that lull the reader into thinking something more permanent, may well happen, but until now never has, although each in their own way is devoted to the other.
It is autumn in the year 1196 and a secretive stranger has come to the attention of Sir Josse, who is convinced that the man has returned from the Crusades. The man has a haunted look about him, the look of a man plagued with a terrible secret. Something so serious that it is tearing him apart, both body and soul.
Ever mindful of the safety of Abbess Helewise and all those under her wing at the Abbey, nevertheless Sir Josse asks if the man's injuries can be treated in the infirmary that belongs to the Abbey, where Josse can also keep a watchful eye on him. But it is not long before Sir Josse realises that the man is being hunted by others and that his actions have put both the Abbess and Hawkenlye in grave danger . . .
