Book Overview
It is the juiciest piece of gossip the citizens of Norwich have heard for a long time. The two golden elephants that robber baron Richard de Fontenel was using to lure the beautiful Adelaide into marriage have been stolen. Also missing is de Fontenel's steward Hermer. Desperate to try and ignore this growing crisis are Domesday Commissioners Ralph Delchard and Gervase Bret, who are keen to resolve a land dispute involving de Fontenel and Mauger - a man also trying to woo Adelaide. De Fontenel, however, refuses to co-operate until the thief is found. But is Hermer the steward really missing or has something more sinister happened? In Ralph and Gervase's most baffling case yet, nothing is what it seems and no one is free from suspicion...

Long awaited Elephants
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
It has taken a long time to track down a copy of Elephants of Norwich, but it was worthwhile. The eleventh volume in an enjoyable and eminently readable series about crime solving after the Norman Conquest in England, this one has an fast paced plot involving stolen treasure as well as murder, characters that are complex enough to create doubt, and a good sense of what the English countryside must have been like. I wish there were more in this series.
