Editorial Reviews

"....a satisfying and readable whodunit with a resolution I couldn't predict. Lewis's sympathetic heroine defends her corner and that of her children in what was most definitely a man's world, in a story likely to appeal to readers of Cadfael. I am pleased that there are to be more Ela of Salisbury mysteries."
