Readers of medieval historical fiction enjoyed this book:
"Really enjoyed this particular book in the series. Lewis weaves a good plot, using descriptive narrative to give a real sense of place and time. Love that Ela is growing into her role as Sheriff, based on fact and showing that women even at that time were able to achieve place and importance."
"Another excellent Ela of Salisbury medieval mystery. Ela herself is a remarkable person, noblewoman, widow, mother of eight children, wealthy, sheriff, relative by marriage to the king, and medieval sleuth par excellence. She stands out in a period when women were supposed to be subservient. Recommended."
"I find that this series just keeps getting better. The main characters seem more real to me as they become more fleshed out with each book. And I didn't see the end coming this time until the very end reveal! I love a mystery I can't figure out until the end of the book!"
