Bernard Knight never disappoints
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
If you are a fan of the medieval mystery book then Bernard Knight is right up your alley. I have all of them and this one, like the others doesn't disappoint. The characters are rich and you often want to grab them and shake them when they are being obtuse or stupid just as you would if they were people that you actually knew. Sir John de Wolfe, aka Crowner John is by now one of my favorite characters and I look forward to the next chapter in his life with great anticipation. Gwynn and poor Thomas are also engaging. I look forward to knowing more about them. The neglect of England under the great warrior but lousy King Richard the Lionheart also comes to life under Knight's writing. A good read.
A Must Have
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I have enjoyed Bernard Knight's Crowner John Mysteries and could not wait for this latest in the series to come out in paper back. I pre-ordered it and it arrived late June. I was going to try and hold back so that I could savor his writing, but proved weak. And, am I glad I was. The Manor of Death, not unlike Michael Jecks' series, is more complex than previous works in the series. It also holds considerable surprises for those who enjoy Knight's fiction and non-fiction. Thank You Bernard for a Great Read!
