Summary: Squire Throwleigh's Heir
Review: A good mystery, although it did tend to get bogged down at times. Not as intriguing as the previous mysteries in the series but enjoyable nontheless. Part of the problem I suspect is that few of the characters are likeable; it is especially difficult to feel any real empathy for Lady Katherine, who looses both her husband and son in a matter of days. However the book is rich in detail and atmosphere, and is, as I had already noted a rather good mystery.

Summary: A thoroughly well-written book
Review: This historical mystery is thoroughly researched and well plotted. Set in the West Country of medieval England, the story uses the remote moorland setting to good advantage as Sir Baldwin and his friend Simon investigate the death of a young lad who was said to have fallen under a cart. This was a common enough occurence, hardly something for the Keeper of the King's Peace to investigate. But this lad, who recently inherited a large estate on the death of his father, had many enemies - starting, apparently with his mother.This book has an unusually intriguing cast of characters, from the evil yet all-too-human priest to the charming foreign knight who is not what he appears to be. Even the children in this book are characters to be reckoned with. If you enjoy the medieval mystery buy not just this book but the whole series.
