About the book
"Medieval mystery fans have cause for rejoicing with the return of Brother Athelstan" Booklist on Bloodstone
January, 1381. Guests of the Regent, John of Gaunt, Brother Athelstan and Sir John Cranston have been attending a mystery play performed by the Straw Men, Gaunts personal acting troupe, when the evenings entertainment is rudely interrupted by the sudden, violent deaths of two of Gaunts VIP guests, their severed heads left on stage. The Regent orders Athelstan to find out who committed such a heinous act, leading Athelstan to tackle his most baffling case yet.|"Close attention will reward readers with well-researched historical information, from the minutiae of everyday living to the public events in the lives of the rich and powerful. Mystery buffs, however, are likely to reach the answer before Athelstan"|?Will appeal to John Dickson Carr fans. With dozens of books to his credit, Doherty continues to impress?
