Heart Of Ice by Alys Clare
Black Death is not the only killer in 12th Century Hawkenlye Abbey.
Praise for the Hawkenlye Series * : *
This is no murder-by-numbers writerWhat seems a fascinating subplot, about a forest poeople who adhere to the old pagan ways, gradually becomes central to the investigation. Clare draws utterly believable characters who have warmth and humanity . . . Don't let the fact that this is the sixth in a series put you off. But I bet, like me, you'll be ordering books one to five when you've finished. * Derby Evening Telegraph on A DARK NIGHT HIDDEN *
A worthy heir to Ellis Peters, though grittier, materialises * Poison in the Pen on FORTUNE LIKE THE MOON *
'Proof that a writer of medieval crime fiction can deliver something fresh' * The Times *
Cunningly shifting sympathies among virtually all the players, Clare spotlights first Helewise, then Josse, in a detecting competition that lifts the partners above their predictable gender roles ... immersing them in a suddenly engrossing tale. * Kirkus Reviews *
'A rich and compelling mystery' * Tangled Web *
They are actually rather good * Publishers Weekly on A DARK NIGHT HIDDEN *
