    About this ebook

    It is May of 1272, and Prioress Eleanor, recovering from a near-fatal winter fever, returns to Amesbury Priory to visit her aunt in time for the Feast of Saint Melor. Although Eleanor hopes to regain her strength in the midst of pleasant childhood memories, Death reveals a most troublesome fondness for her company, thwarting her desire for peace.

      I enjoy the medieval atmosphere of this series. I am sure that there are attitudes and details that are anachronistic, though I'm not an expert- but Royal does a good job of keeping the characters and most of their emotions plausible for their era.Plus- nice tricky murder mysteries!In this one there is a murdering possible ghost, plus various other schemes and undercurrents which tie in to the murders to some degree. I do think the favoring of a marriage based on love was anachronistic, but then I am not an expert! Certainly the opposition and the alternatives to such seemed realistic.Both Eleanor and Thomas are well-drawn protagonists, and the secondary characters also spring to life.It's a dense plot, but handled well, even though initially I had a hard time keeping track of the relationships among the villagers.This is the second in the series, but I think one could easily start here.
