Praise for Michael Jecks: Complicated, well-populated, written with cross-cutting gusto, and accompanied by scholarly extras
Michael Jecks is the master of the medieval whodunnit
The most wickedly plotted medieval mystery novels
Marvellously portrayed
If you care for a well-researched visit to medieval England, don't pass this series
Tremendously successful medieval mystery series
Memorable characters, steadily absorbing period background... a commendable achievement
A gem of historical storytelling
Each page is densely packed with cuckolding, coarseness, lewdness, lechery, gore galore, but also with nobility. A heady mix!
Atmospheric and cleverly plotted
