Paul Doherty's twenty-second medieval mystery featuring Sir Hugh Corbett is a gripping and gruesome tale of murder and mayhem that is sure to appeal to fans of C. J. Sansom and Bernard Cornwell. Set in 1312, Sir Hugh Corbett, the Keeper of the Secret Seal, returns to Westminster after a stint in the West Country to find the city in chaos. Edward II has fled to protect his favourite from the wrath of his noblemen, and a royal clerk has been found dead, poisoned in a locked chamber.
Drawn into a maze of murder, both at Westminster and at the Convent of Saint Sulpice, where young novices have started to disappear, Corbett quickly establishes a connection between the two mysteries. As more killings follow, Corbett's investigation leads him to a high-class brothel and its sinister owner, Mother Midnight. Challenged to a duel and hunted by a guild of ruthless assassins, Corbett and his loyal henchmen, Ranulf and Chanson, face a sea of troubles.
Corbett must call upon his wit and ingenuity to halt the tide of disaster that threatens to engulf him. The book is filled with vivid descriptions of medieval England, and Doherty's depictions of the period are truly outstanding. The characters are well-developed, and the plot is intricate and challenging to work out.
Readers have praised Doherty's work for its good plots, clever twists, and the difficulty of working out the mysteries. The Hugh Corbett series is considered one of the best historical mysteries available, and this latest installment is no exception. If you enjoy historical mysteries with a touch of adventure and intrigue, then Paul Doherty's books are definitely worth reading.
