PRAISE FOR THE SISTER FREVISSE MEDIEVAL MYSTERY SERIES

“Frazer is writing one of the most consistently excellent historical series in print today.” – Murder Ink

"Frazer successfully captures the essence of 15th century England – the sights, smells, and sounds fill the pages, drawing us in as we become immersed in the language, manners, and customs of a far off time and place.” – Rendezvous

“Dame Frevisse, the pious and perspective nun gives focus to this sober series... [Frazer] shows a meticulous detail that speaks of trustworthy scholarship and a sympathetic imagination.” – New York Times Book Review

"Once you begin to read this series, you will want to follow your new friends to the end of their personal story.” – Cross Point Book Reviews

"Exquisitely written... A superbly researched medieval mystery series!” – Publisher’s Weekly

“Everything about it bespeaks quality and care… Frazer draws us into a medieval village in England with a story of lust, greed, and murder.” – St. Paul Pioneer Press

Review by: Jo Andrews on Sep. 07, 2011 :
This is a great addition to the Dame Frevisse mysteries and shouldn't be missed. The story is as evocative of the period as the novels are and the mystery is exciting. A very enjoyable tale and a welcome depiction of how Dame Frevisse's life continues. I loved it and hope that more will be issued in the Ebook format rather than for specific e-devices. I would certainly buy all or any available.
