Rufus Spy, The: A medieval mystical mystery

By Alys Clare

Apprentice healer Lassair heads on a perilous journey north in the absorbing new Aelf Fen medieval mystery.

October, 1093. Two young men have been brutally beaten to death; a third viciously attacked. All three men are of similar appearance. But could there be another connection?

Lassair meanwhile has agreed to accompany her former lover Rollo on a perilous journey north in search of King William. On their trail is a skilled, relentless and ruthless assassin. Who is he, and why has he targeted Rollo? If they are to survive, the hunted must become the hunters: Rollo and Lassair must lure their pursuer to the treacherous fenland terrain Lassair knows so well and turn the tables on their would-be killer.

Reviews for Rufus Spy, The

[vesper1931 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

1093 and two young men of similar appearance have already been killed. Will there be more and why. Meanwhile Lassair, the healer, has gone home only to find her ex-lover in need of help.
This is the first of the series that I have read and would say it would be best read after the others in the series to get all the background of these characters, and to give them some depth. I found I didn't really care for the characters and therefore the plot, and have preferred other series written by Alys Clare.
