Title: Wonderful Tale!
Review: Susanna Gregory does not write your run-of-the mill medieval mystery story. In the first place, her books are quite long and she takes the time to develop a real storyline along with her mystery. In the second place, she writes of real historical happenings - in this case a summer uprising that occurred near Cambridge about 7 years after the Black Death. So not only do you get a good story with a good plot, a good mystery that keeps you guessing to the last minute, you get a little education too. This book was exceptionally good, I thought. And the denouement at the end shocked me completely. I usually guess who the murderer is in a lot of mysteries, but I did not guess the whys and wherefores of this particular mystery. Also, be warned that Ms. Gregory seems to turn up a lot of dead bodies in one of her stories. In this case, some eight or nine. I won't say anymore because I don't want to give the story away. That would be a shame because this one is such fun.
