Mystery In The Minster: The Seventeenth Chronicle of Matthew Bartholomew: Chronicles of Matthew Bartholomew
Autor Susanna Gregoryen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 iun 2012
------------------------------------
The seventeenth chronicle in the Matthew Bartholomew series.
In 1358 the fledging college of Michaelhouse in Cambridge is in need of extra funds. A legacy from the Archbishop of York of a parish close to that city promises a welcome source of income. However, there has been another claim to its ownership and it seems the only way to settle the dispute is for a deputation from Michaelhouse to travel north.
Matthew Bartholomew is among the small party which arrives in the bustling city, where the increasing wealth of the merchants is unsettling the established order, and where a French invasion is an ever-present threat to its port. But soon he and his colleagues learn that many of the Archbishop's executors have died in unexplained circumstances and that the codicil naming Michaelhouse as a beneficiary cannot be found...

Recenzii
Superb. . . . Gregory again proves adept at weaving a plot complicated enough to be baffling but not so
intricate as to become confusing
As in her previous chronicles, the author blends meticulous historical data into a well-paced, hard to put down story. This one is especially intriguing since every logical choice of culprit pans out until the last moment. A first-rate treat for mystery lovers!
Gregory's obvious command of period detail convincingly transports the reader to England in 1358...a very satisfactory addition to this series
A tale of murder, intrigue and betrayal in the medieval City of York
In 1358 the fledging college of Michaelhouse in Cambridge is in desperate need of extra funds, so when the Archbishop of York bequeaths them a parish in his diocese, it seems that their prayers are answered. However, there is another claim to the parish's ownership.
Matthew Bartholomew is among the small party that travels to York to press Michaelhouse's claim. He and his colleagues soon learn that several of the Archbishop's executors have died in unexplained circumstances and that the codicil naming the college as a beneficiary cannot be found.
As they search the Minster's chaotic library and a spring storm threatens the city with huge floods, they are forced to fend off the violent determination of those who believe the legacy should go elsewhere...
