## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Lovely series of books. This is a worthy addition to the saga
  

*by B***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 September 2017*

I have enjoyed this and the other related books in the series because they offer an insight into the day to day lifes of quite everyday people, including mostly those of the yeoman and lower classes with some glimpses of the lives of the great and mighty they interact with but largely they are about the common people and have the added nuance of an amateur sleuth who is not a physician or cleric but a bookseller and repectable family man. Some sleuths in other historical novels are almost as unsavoury as the villains while others come across as very modern minded men and women somehow unaturally sewn loosely into the fabric of a time they don't seem to belong in. This is not so with either Swinfen's sleuth, in fact even minor characters seem real and of the 14th century.  Lovely tales worthy of reading in comfort with a hot drink and a slice of cake.

*by P***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 September 2017*

Another great tale from the medieval times by Ann Swinfen. I so enjoy these and they appear very real, as if you were there. Perhaps I am a fan of Oxford, it's very atmospheric and it is so nice to have roads and places one now knows mentioned in these tales. This is the fourth tale with the same main character and his family, but you won't be prevented from enjoying this one if you have not read the previous three. I think you'll want to read the earlier ones once you read this one. I was delighted to find this fourth tale (I am a recent 'convert' to Swinfen's historical drama/thrillers  after sampling the first three of the Elizabethan ones. I'll be reading more of her - entertaining stuff!

    Very engaging. For whoever misses the Cadfael series
  

*by P***C on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 October 2017*

A very nice series, very engaging. It brings to mind the Cadfael series, by Ellis Peters.In this series by Ann Swinfen, the main character is a bookseller from Oxford, Nicholas Elyot. The stories happen in less high echelons of England's medieval society than in the Cadfael series. But we still have glimpses of nobles and abbots, as pointed out by another reviewer here.What I liked best is the same feeling of accompanying the day to day life in medieval times, and learning about how people interacted and how their material needs were met.I'm crossing my fingers that the author will keep writing this series!I'm posting this same review in all the four already published books of this series, for I liked them all, and would like to signal it to potential readers.
