Customer Reviews
The Tainted Relic - Rated I am a great fan of this genre and was not disappointed. My favourite author is Susanna Gregory and her writing in this particular novel did not let me down. It also gave me an opportunity to decide whether to give other writers a look. The novel is split into acts, with each author writing a separate act. The story flowed and although there were clearly different styles involved, it did not detract from the desire to continue reading. A feast with a theme - Rated This book, or almost anthology, has five 'acts' or novelettes together with a prologue and an epilogue on a single theme: the 'tainted' or cursed relic. Each 'act' is by one of a number of well known medieval murder mystery authors. They have used it to each create a single stand-alone murder mystery, using their well known individual characters from their own series (such as Crowner John or Matthew Bartholomew) but incorporates the tainted relic of the title at a different period. Each story therefore also carries forward the history of this relic in a continuous time line. I very much enjoyed most of the stories though the Elizabethan least of all but, there again, that is not my favourite historical period. A very good read.
