- When the sins of the past catch up - a perfect medieval mystery
Sir Hugh is back! What good news and he is back in a gripping mystery, another page turner of first order.
This is actaully No. 16 of the Sir Hugh Corbett series. Set at the time of King Edward I Sir Hugh is the King's trusted problem-solver. And again he is send on a royal mission. I have read them all and all are just fantastic read.But you do not have to read first all the previous story - even tough I can recommend this - to understand this mystery story.
Paul Doherty is a historian and that shows. For this very mystery he uses previous work (The Great Crown Jewels Robbery of 1303) or going works (The Templar (first part)). He has just a feeling to re-create the medieval times for the reader. It does not seem to be a far off time, but an actual and gripping one.
But not only the medieval age is re-created, but a gripping story is told. Doherty is just superb here. I found it amazing how the blast of a horn, indicating approaching death, can make you shiver. Here the sins of the past are catching up.
Enjoy this new mystery by Doherty. It is "top notch"!!
