Description

Crispin Guest is summoned to a London priory to unmask a merciless killer. Can he discover who is committing the deadliest of sins?

1399, London. A drink at the Boar’s Tusk takes an unexpected turn for Crispin Guest, Tracker of London, and his apprentice, Jack Tucker, when a messenger claims the prioress at St. Frideswide wants to hire him to investigate murders at the priory. Two of Prioress Drueta’s nuns have been killed in a way that signifies two of the Seven Deadly Sins, and she’s at her wits end.

Meanwhile, trouble is brewing outside of London when the exiled Henry Bolingbroke, the new Duke of Lancaster, returns to England’s shores with an army to take back his inheritance. Crispin is caught between solving the crimes at St. Frideswide’s Priory, and making a choice once more whether to stand with King Richard or commit treason again.

This book is one of a series by the Author - in my opinion reading the previous books first is essential to fully understand the characters and there place in the storyline .

Crispin Guest , Tracker of London , and his apprentice , Jack Tucker are enjoying a drink in the Boar's Tusk when they receive a message ............... two nuns have been killed at St Frideswide priory - has a deadly sin been committed ?
His attention on the murder is distracted with the news that the Henry , Duke of Lancaster has returned to England ..... an army at his back . There is a battle brewing between Henry and Richard for the English throne
Will he be able to catch the killer ............and will he have to consider committing treason again

This is yet another enthralling historical murder mystery , which the Author excels at - I hope this is not the last we see of Crispin et al

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

This was a satisfactory conclusion to the Crispin Guest series. I really enjoyed this series and I'm sorry to see it end.

This is one of my favorite mystery series of all time and I am so sad that this is the final book, but it had a perfect ending! If you have not read this series don't miss out. A former knight turned detective with a medieval setting! What more could you ask for? LOVED this series and this book.
