See book 5, A Confusion of Sins My problem with this series is that it's so long between books that I forget what has happened previously as I start the next book. I'm glad the author included a historical note, or the plot would have made far less sense. Bell and Magdalene's relationship is developing nice and slowly. I like that William of Ypres is becoming a slightly more developed character, but I missed the Old Priory women. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML: Magdalene la Bâtarde obeys William of Ypres, her great patron, as a vassal obeys his overlordâ??even though William would laugh if he knew how she felt. However, when King Stephen summons his barons to a great council in Oxford, William can smell the stink of treasonâ??and he has enemies who might spread that stink over him. He needs a safe place to talk to friends and cajole enemies, so he summons Magdalene. When Magdalene is called, she knows there must be trouble brewing in Oxford. Indeed, one of William's own men, Niall Arvagh of Murcot, has been accused of murder. Ordinarily, nobody would believe Niall capable of violence, even upon so gross a creature as Aimery St. Cyr. But St. Cyr claimed to be betrothed to the pretty heiress whom Niall sought for himself. Another rumor claims that Niall committed the act on the order of his master, William of Ypres, for political reasons. While the debate rages in Oxford, Magdalene teams up with her old friend, Sir Itchen of Bellamy, to clear up the mess that threatens to create a political scandal. Though Bell is willing to investigate the case, can Magdalene trust him completely this time? Has Bell become so jealous of William that his sense of justice could be overwhelmed? Fortunately for Magdalene, she still has friends in town. Her former coworkers, the whores and barmaids of Oxford, may be able to bring her the necessary informationâ??and help her pick the strands of romance apart from the rope of treason, reweaving them into a net to entangle a mur No library descriptions found. |
